Come down, come down from your ivory tower Let love come into your heart Don't lock yourself in an ivory tower Don't keep us so far apart I love you, I love you Are you too far above me to hear? Come down, come down from your ivory tower You'll find true love has its charms It's cold, so cold, in your ivory tower And warm, so warm in my arms I love you, I love you Are you too far above me to hear? Come down, come down from your ivory tower You'll find true love has its charms It's cold, so cold, in your ivory tower And warm, so warm in my arms
