Zach Bryan - Towers

Play me something gently
I’m across the ocean, missing home
There are lights on sparklin’ towers
That shine dark when seen alone

Somewhere there’s a mountain
that overlooks the sea
I wonder if that mountain
has got more rock than my band and me

And I ain’t no victim to a naive boy’s dreams
But i wish you were here now
to see these damned old sparklin’ things

It’s a long road to heaven
It’s a far drop to hell
I pray we outlive this fountain
I reckon time will tell
The stronger folks keep goin
No matter where they’ve been
And there are lights on sparklin’ towers
That I’ll never see again

I am not the person that I was yesterday
And the things I’m seeing now
Will never be the same

Do you think God’s a person?
Or the blinking lights?
The reflect in her eyes while she walks these streets at night

Do you think God’s a person?
Or is he just the sound, of laughter through the walls,
In a place I haven’t found

It’s a long road to heaven
It’s a far drop to hell
I pray we out-live this fountain
I reckon only time can tell
The stronger folks keep goin’
No matter where they’ve been
There are lights on sparklin’ towers
That I’ll never see again

Do you think God’s a person?
Or is he just the sound,
Of early mornin’ creakin’
on some floors way out of town

I’m breathing in a life
And my legs are wokin’ fine
Do you think God’s a person,
Or the slowly-passing time

[Wendigoon]

This song has caused emotional damage I don’t have words for. Immediately bought tickets, see you in NOLA

[ComedyBros]

If nothing else, Zach should go down as one of the most unique and experimental musicians of all time. I've never heard such a diverse compilation and diversity of music from an artist before. Take this one for example. Never would've expected a church choir backing him in a song!

[aaronturner]

I hope Zach knows how proud is mama is of him!

[jamespage]

This man is already a legend I'm nearly 60 yrs old and I've never heard such a tremendous song writer like this man. Zach is a blessing

[OPdrifft]

Love the choir in the background, the unreleased version of this song would be on repeat over and over again

[brynn]

the way u talk about the lord is amazing.

[LoganBader-qbuj]

yes, new album i will definitely be listening to this all day

[dubbadubdub]

The choir background just tickles my brain.

[pch]

I mean I don’t know what to say. When the choir came in it brought a tear to my eyes. You do such great work! God bless you!

[FlyinBB]

THIS ALBUM IS ALL IM LISTENING TO FOR THE REST OF THE

[noahyourdan]

Towers is one of my favorites from Zach

[Rdregz]

Zach, you are a true poet. Thanks for putting it to paper and music.

[sethheisserman]

Best song on the album. Shame it's only 14 seconds long!!

[colinburba]

Album will be on repeat until I drop dead

[MusicOrLoseItTV]

Don’t worry about genre Zach. If it’s good that’s all that matters.

Play me something gently
I'm across the ocean, missing home
There are lights on sparklin' towers
That shine dark when seen alone
Somewhere there’s a mountain
That overlooks the sea
I wonder if that mountain
Has got more rock than my band and me
And I ain't no victim
To a naive boy’s dreams
But i wish you were here now
To see these damned old sparklin’

[carlyriley]
