The watchman's Gone
Gordon Lightfoot
|__ |__ |__ |_ _| Just like birds of a fea__-ther__ 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 sta__-tion__ 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 mo__-ment__ 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 sun__-set__ 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 bro__-ther__ If you live to follow the golden sun You better beware Knowin' the watchman's always there If you find me feedin' dai__-sies__ 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 |__ |_ _ _ |_ _ _ |_ _| |__ |__ |!
