AJust like Ebirds of a Dfeather
AWe too have followed the golden F#msun
AIt feels so Egood,
GKnowin' the Dwatchman's Agone
AIf I Egive you a Drose, buddy
AWould you please bury it in the F#mfields?
AI seen a Erose
GWatchin' it Dall fold Aout
AThere's a Etrain down at the Dstation
AIt's come to carry my bones F#maway
ATwo engines Eon
GTwenty-one Dcoaches Along
End to Eend
GTwenty-one Dcoaches Abend
AThe watchman's Eout
GKickin' the Dbums Aabout
AIf I Ewait for the right Dmoment
AYou can bet I'll climb aboard F#munseen
AI've done it befEore
GI know I can Ddo it in my Asleep
AThe watchman's Eout
GKickin' the Dbums Aabout
AThe watchman's Eout
GKickin' your Ddreams Aabout

AAs EI leave you in the Dsunset
AGot one more nothin' I'd like to F#msay
A"You don't know Eme
GA son of the Dsea am IA"
AAs I Esay to you, my Dbrother
AIf you live to follow the golden F#msun
AYou better bewEare
GKnowin' the Dwatchman's always Athere
AIf you Efind me feedin' Ddaisies
APlease turn my face up to the F#msky
AAnd leave me Ebe
GWatchin' the Dmoon roll Aby
Whatever I Ewas
GYou know it was Dall becaAuse
I've been on the Etown
GWashin' the Dbullshit Adown
AThe watchman's Eout
GKickin' your Ddreams Aabout
It feels so Egood
GKnowin' the Dwatchman's Agone
It's like a Esong
GKnowin' the Dwatchman's Agone
