Nightwatchman

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember how I let you down Everything you say reminds me of the pain How you lost your dignity Passing in and out of a dream Is there some secret I'm supposed to know? Is there some secret I always miss? 'Cause there's no dignity when you have to live When you have to live within the boundaries of a kiss [Chorus] And the nightwatchman, yeah, he's asleep Nightwatchman, I can't wake him up Watchman, oh come on, tell me what's wrong Nightwatchman, is the night too long? [Verse 2] Is the same lie you gave me before? I don't care, anything you say is just fine I'll just sit and watch the traffic passing by outside Oh, the will in the world it's the prevailing tide You're supposed to watch the night as it passes by You're never supposed to need anyone 'Cause once I knew the secret to happiness I knew it once, oh but now it's gone [Chorus] And the nightwatchman, yeah he's asleep Nightwatchman, I can't wake him up Watchman, oh c'mon, tell me what's wrong Nightwatchman, is the night too long? Is the night too long? Is the night too long? Is the night too long? Is the night too long?
