Lyrics

[Verse]
Gravel crunches under heavy boots
Passing by the old parade grounds
A copper roof stands against the blue
In the heart of Cumberland County
The trail leads through the timber line
Where the ghosts of history wait
The sentry stands in silence now
Beside the open gate
[Chorus]
Penny Tower
Watching over the hill
Penny Tower
Time is standing still
A sentinel of stone and wood
Right where the heroes stood
Penny Tower
[Verse]
Look out from the wooden stairs
Across the valley wide and green
Cannons parked in the tall grass
The quietest sight I’ve ever seen
You can hear the bugle in the wind
If you listen to the morning air
The Army Heritage leaves a mark
On everyone who gathers there
[Chorus]
Penny Tower
Watching over the hill
Penny Tower
Time is standing still
A sentinel of stone and wood
Right where the heroes stood
Penny Tower
[Bridge]
It’s a long walk down the gravel path
Through the trenches and the past
Building up the memories
That were always meant to last
[Chorus]
Penny Tower
Watching over the hill
Penny Tower
Time is standing still
A sentinel of stone and wood
Right where the heroes stood
Penny Tower
