The Watchman's Gone Lyrics

Gordon Lightfoot

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've 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
