The Nightwatchman Lyrics by Iain Archer

To The Pine Roots

2009

Colder now, the workers have gone
The factory stretches, it lets out a yawn
A torch, a newspaper under his arm
The keys to every office, and attic and hall
He doesn’t let the lonely silence bring him down
Nobody sees him as the nightwatchman does his rounds
The sound of his boots, his breath and the clock
The rain on the roof, a door he unlocks
A room with a light, a table, a chair
He takes off his hat, and smooths out his thinning hair
He doesn’t let the lonely silence bring him down
Nobody sees him as thе nightwatchman does his rounds
A world asleep, he keeps a close еye
In empty rooms, he waits for the sun to rise
He doesn’t let the lonely silence bring him down
Nobody sees him as the nightwatchman does his rounds
He keeps himself awake, remembering aloud
Nobody sees him as the nightwatchman does his rounds
