The Watchman`s Gone — текст песни (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 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
