I remember how I let you down   Everything you say reminds me of the pain   How you lost your dignity   Passing in and out of a dream      Is there some secret I'm supposed to know   Is there some secret I'd always miss   'cause there's no dignity when you have to live   Within the boundaries of a kiss      And the nightwatchman   Yeah he's asleep   Nightwatchman   Oh come on tell me what's wrong   Nightwatchman   Is the night too long      Is the same lie you gave me before   I don't care anything you say is just fine   I'll just sit and watch the traffic passing by outside   The will in the world it's the prevailing tide      You're supposed to watch the night as it passes by   You're never supposed to need anyone   'cause once I knew the secret to happiness   I knew it was oh but now it's gone      And the nightwatchman   Yeah he's asleep   Nightwatchman   I can't wake him up   Watchman   C'mon tell me what's wrong   Nightwatchman   Is the night too long
