Chris Garneau
Tower
We chose her dress before her last breath
I held her face in my palm
Oh what a horror

Her eyes were my eyes
My eyes were her eyes

She made a shell for us
She hovers above
They built nothing for us
But it’s the final hour now
Hour now
Hour now

Love came this way
She loved you, by the way
It was no murder to see
Her go that way without me

The rocks she chose
The building blocks
She kept them closed in her palms
Oh what an honor

Her eyes were my eyes
They will fossilize

They made it hell for us
We could rise above
They built nothing for us
But her life’s a tower now
A tower now
A tower now

Love’s made this way
It was meant to tether and sway you
It was no murder to see
Her go that way without me

Why don’t you come back?
Why don’t you come back?
Final farewell to us
Departure of love
They made it hell for us
But her life’s a tower now
A tower now
A tower now

Love came this way
She loved you, by the way
It was no murder to see
Her go that way without me

Love’s made this way
It was meant to tether and sway you
There was no murder to see
But she went that way without me
