Gordon Lightfoot - The Watchman's Gone lyrics
Your rating:
Just like birds of a feather We too have followed the golden sun It feels so good, Knowing the watchman's gone If I give you a rose, buddy Would you please bury it in the fields? I've seen a rose Watching 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 Kicking 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 Kicking the bums about The watchman's out Kicking your dreams about As I leave you in the sunset Got one more nothing 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 Knowing the watchman's always there If you find me feeding daisies Please turn my face up to the sky And leave me be Watching the moon roll by Whatever I was You know it was all because I've been on the town Washing the bullshit down The watchman's out Kicking your dreams about It feels so good Knowing the watchman's gone It's like a song Knowing the watchman's gone
