GJust like Dbirds of a Cfeather
GWe too have followed the golden Emsun
GIt feels so Dgood,
FKnowin' the Cwatchman's Ggone
GIf I Dgive you a Crose, buddy
GWould you please bury it in the Emfields?
GI seen a Drose
FWatchin' it Call fold Gout
GThere's a Dtrain down at the Cstation
GIt's come to carry my bones Emaway
GTwo engines Don
FTwenty-one Ccoaches Glong
End to Dend
FTwenty-one Ccoaches Gbend
GThe watchman's Dout
FKickin' the Cbums Gabout
GIf I Dwait for the right Cmoment
GYou can bet I'll climb aboard Emunseen
GI've done it befDore
FI know I can Cdo it in my Gsleep
GThe watchman's Dout
FKickin' the Cbums Gabout
GThe watchman's Dout
FKickin' your Cdreams Gabout

GAs DI leave you in the Csunset
GGot one more nothin' I'd like to Emsay
G"You don't know Dme
FA son of the Csea am IG"
GAs I Dsay to you, my Cbrother
GIf you live to follow the golden Emsun
GYou better bewDare
FKnowin' the Cwatchman's always Gthere
GIf you Dfind me feedin' Cdaisies
GPlease turn my face up to the Emsky
GAnd leave me Dbe
FWatchin' the Cmoon roll Gby
Whatever I Dwas
FYou know it was Call becaGuse
I've been on the Dtown
FWashin' the Cbullshit Gdown
GThe watchman's Dout
FKickin' your Cdreams Gabout
It feels so Dgood
FKnowin' the Cwatchman's Ggone
It's like a Dsong
FKnowin' the Cwatchman's Ggone
