The Watchman's Gone |
| We too have followed the golden sun |
| It feels so good, |
| Knowin’the watchman’s gone |
| If i give you a rose, buddy |
| Would you please bury it in the fields? |
| I seen a rose |
| Watchin’it all fold out |
| There’s a train down at the station |
| It’s come to carry my bones away |
| Two engines on Twenty-one coaches long |
| End to end |
| Twenty-one coaches bend |
| The watchman’s out |
| Kickin’the bums about |
| If i wait for the right moment |
| You can bet i’ll climb aboard unseen |
| I’ve done it before |
| I know i can do it in my sleep |
| The watchman’s out |
| Kickin’the bums about |
| The watchman’s out |
| Kickin’your dreams about |
| As i leave you in the sunset |
| Got one more nothin’i’d like to say |
| «you don’t know me A son of the sea am i» |
| As i say to you, my brother |
| If you live to follow the golden sun |
| You better beware |
| Knowin’the watchman’s always there |
| If you find me feedin’daisies |
| Please turn my face up to the sky |
| And leave me be Watchin’the moon roll by Whatever i was |
| You know it was all because |
| I’ve been on the town |
| Washin’the bullshit down |
| The watchman’s out |
| Kickin’your dreams about |
| It feels so good |
| Knowin’the watchman’s gone |
| It’s like a song |
| Knowin’the watchman’s gone |
