Lightfoot Gordon The Watchman`s Gone Lyrics

The Watchman`s Gone Lyrics

Just like birds of a feather

 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
