I built her a tower when I was young—
Sometime she will die—
I built it with my hands, I hung
Stones in the sky

Old but still strong I climb the stone—
Sometime she will die—
Climb the steep rough steps alone
And weep in the sky

Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep

Never be astonished, dear
Always expect change
Never run away in fear
Nothing is strange

We have seen the human race
Capture all its dreams
Every dream we dare to chase
Except for peace

But never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep

Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep

Take your mind to a place
Where Nature sings
In good time you may find
You have sprouted wings

Beware these are the failing years--
They will go deep
Darlin’ wash away your tears
Never weep

Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep

Never weep, never weep
Never weep, never weep
