Lyrics
There's a ladder on the water tower Iron rungs all cold with rain I climb up slow in the sleeping hour Past the windows, past the lane Rung by rung, rung by rung Up above the town we go Rung by rung, rung by rung The night is soft and low The rooftops hum their quiet colours Amber lamps along the street Every light is someone's lantern Every dark one is asleep Rung by rung, rung by rung Up above the town we go Rung by rung, rung by rung The night is soft and low Stay a minute at the top Hear the whole town breathe Nobody here is in a hurry Nobody has to leave When the morning grey comes creeping I will climb back down the same Rung by rung, and rain still falling Calling softly down my name Rung by rung, rung by rung Up above the town we go Rung by rung, rung by rung The night is soft and low Rung by rung The night is soft and low
