Michael Barrow & the Tourists - The Watchman

Kishore Kumar Hits — Michael Barrow & the Tourists - The Watchman lyrics

Artist: Michael Barrow & the Tourists

album: Juneau

From the top of my tower
I can see our city spread below
The sun sets on the rooftops
Of the place I call home
And a charge comes with a call
From an unknown voice that only speaks to me
It whispers to my mind the unspoken words:
"Tell them what you see."
I see light
I see life
I see love
As the city sleeps beneath my watch
I find myself alone
And my heart sinks within me
As the night turns cold
A figure dressed in red raises up a sword
As his army storms the grounds
The voice comes back to ask me,
"What do you see now?"
I see pain,
I see fire,
And I see blood
There's no light,
There's no life,
And there's no love
But rising tall, the final stand
On my lips a call, and a trumpet in my hand
When it sounds, the time has come
I'll stand watch, but I'll plead with you to run
Oh, I plead with you to run
As the dust begins to settle
And the smoke has cleared
All that I can see from the top of my tower
Is a shadow of what our city used to be
But in my soul, there's a hope and a comfort
From a voice I can't ignore
Of this city, I'm The Watchman,
And I know that there's war
A new light
A new life
A new love
Take it all
You build me up and then you watch me fall
But I'll never say a word
No, I'll never say a word
Truth comes slow
I'll watch it come and then I'll watch you go
And I'll never say a word
No, I'll never say a word
Because you'll never know what you never heard
No, you'll never know
