A tower of babel grows overnight
It looms blocking out all the light
Down river there are places no one sees
Down river there are traces of my dreams
No footsteps pacing in the sky
No curtains hang, no dreaming spires
No voices ring the change of life
Just empty boxes in the sky
The writing's on the wall for all to fear
Each storey tells no story I can hear
Down river there are places that I go
Down river there are places you don't know
Down river there are places no one sees
Down river there are traces of my dreams
No footsteps pacing in the sky
No curtains hang, no dreaming spires
No voices ring the change of life
Just empty boxes in the sky
