Memphis - The Night Watchman lyrics

rate me

Try to go to sleep

I'll stay awake tonight

The rattle of the window

The frost diffuses light

The yard is white with snow

Beyond, the ink black sea

The corridor is dark now

This house and you and me

Night up and above us

Night down below

I try to let it go

Murder mystery

Lies open on my chest

Sleep begins to take me

My mind wants me to rest

An hour left ‘til dawn

I sign to pass the time

But I forget the words now

I can't recall the rhyme

I get to the chorus

Certain of the song

And then it's gone

The room is filled with sleep

But I can hear you dream

And even with your arms above your head

You're stronger than you seem

But if they come for us

I won't wake you from your sleep

I said that I'd defend you

And that's a promise that I'll keep

A noise at the gate now

My pulse starts to run

Here comes the sun

I think I see the sun

I think I see the sun
