Water Tower

I climbed the water tower

For the benefit of none

Where city sunsets silhouette...

Subjects in the sun

I still believe there's a way to know you

In spite of everyone

Yeah, I climb the water tower

For the benefit of none

Please understand, I have only one turn…..so spin me

I don't have to sell my story

I don't have to go

There's no need to run for cover

There's no need to know

Please understand, I have only one turn...so spin it

I climbed the water tower

For the benefit of none

Where city sunsets silhouette...

Subjects in the sun

I still believe there's a way to know you

In spite of everyone

Yeah, I climb the water tower

For the benefit of none

Please understand, I have only one turn...so spin me

WATER TOWER is a tale of a younger man, and it's straight ahead. It was inspired by the awe of a giant water tower that hovered over our Little League field in our small town. It was a commanding, and intimidating presence. As an adolescent, I fantasized about climbing it, and that conquering it would award me the badge of the risk taker. The song is a simple message about confronting fear and power, and embracing the dream of self-determination and escape.
