Lyrics
The Watchman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Your time is out and watching
Be careful what you do
A race against true vanity
The face of endless youth
Two good souls, are courting
Scars of passing years
Showers fall and hear you call
A game of ageing tears
Oh the Watchman comes
Hear him bang upon his drums
One, two, three
Count with me, let's run
Come on, run
Let's run
The morning spies that Miller
It changes everyday
Love yourself for who you are
Safe journey on your way
It's a ruling, raging battle
Through the fog of day and night
Send you places no-one knows
In the bubble of a broken life
For oh the Watchman comes
Hear him bang upon his drums
One, two, three
Count with me, lets run
Come on, run
Let's run
Come on, let's run
Yeah, yeah
Come on. Come on on on on on
Come on. Come on, on
Mmmm
Now if ever they are asking
We'll tell them one more lie
Hand in hand, we'll lead them on
Through the black holes from the sky
Oh the Watchman comes
Hear him bang upon his drums
One, two, three
Count with me
Oh the Watchman comes
Hear him bang upon his drums
One, two, three
Count with me, let's run
Well come on, run
Let's run
Come on and count with me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Let's run, yeah
