I stood upon the ivory tower   As far as I could see   The winds that blew from out of the trees   Were calling out to me      Curtains blew in the ivory tower   Willows start to bend   The ravens flew to escape the fury   As the storm descends      I followed fortune 'round the tower   Searching in vain   For through the mist 'round the old stone tower   I only found rain      And though the cold, cold ivory tower   Was stony through and through   I laid and dreamed on a featherbed   My dream was of you, my dream was of you      All time waiting   As the sun doth set in the haze   All time waiting   Every hour feels like a day, oh      I feared not in the ivory tower   Imprisonment you'll find   It lies within your heart, your soul   Your spirit and your mind      It lies within your heart, your soul   Your spirit and your mind
