gordon lightfoot – the watchman’s gone lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
just like birds of a feather
we too have followed the golden sun
it feels so good
knowing the watchman’s gone

[verse 2]
if i give you a rose, buddy
would you please bury it in the fields?
i seen a rose
watching it all fold out

[verse 3]
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

[verse 4]
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

[chorus]
the watchman’s out
kicking the bums about
the watchman’s out
kicking your dreams about

[verse 5]
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”

[verse 6]
as i say to you, my brother
if you live to follow the golden sun
you better beware
knowing the watchman’s always there

[verse 7]
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 bullsh-t down

[chorus]
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
