Watchman

The full version of an original song, performed acoustic and solo. Written spring 2009.

Lyrics:

You can be right twice;
I'll be right now.
And it's always now.

If I wanted the time of day,
I should have bought a clock.
Stood up, washed out to dry
You'd think/that I've learned/ something this time.

It's hard being down here,
but at least I can still see the sky,
Chase the second hand, lose your mind.
That's it, won't beg and plead, good night.

And the world keeps turning;
with nowhere to jump off.
Don't need the watchman
To tell me how long you've been gone.
Just need to know - when it's now.

You can be right twice;
I'll be right now.

Watchman said to me,
something about broken clocks,
so long ago I can't remember;
he's only right,
if telling time
is part of your intention

And the world keeps turning;
with nowhere to jump off.
Don't need the watchman
To tell me how long you've been gone.
but that's not now.

Don't need the watchman,
I don't need a clock,
don't need a certain kind;
don't need a certain time of day;

You can be right twice; (don't need the watchman)
I'll be right now. (Without the watchman)
Without the watchman
