Nightwatchmen - Bell X1[00:00:00]
To the girl among nightwatchmen[00:00:22]
My other [00:00:31]
My joy with your oil drum fire[00:00:32]
You were my gentle unfolding[00:00:41]
The wool and the dye [00:00:50]
The needle and eye[00:00:55]
These songs you sing[00:01:01]
As you waltz her up the stairs[00:01:05]
And the boy smiles[00:01:10]
At the wheels of the chair[00:01:15]
We are loved for these things[00:01:19]
That pass us by[00:01:25]
All we're good for[00:01:29]
As the sand flows[00:01:38]
Into the hourglass[00:01:43]
You hold every grain[00:01:47]
That it might remain[00:01:52]
Part of me wants[00:01:57]
To see you crumble[00:02:01]
Like those toys on a plinth[00:02:06]
Pool of alabaster limbs[00:02:10]
Into my arms[00:02:16]
So that I might have my place[00:02:21]
Although the crutch may just serve[00:02:25]
To dull the only blade[00:02:32]
That you brought to this fight[00:02:35]
Let's go another round[00:02:41]
Let's go another round[00:02:44]
To the girl among nightwatchmen[00:03:00]
The long fingers of morning[00:03:09]
Will take you by the hand[00:03:14]
Precious stones [00:03:19]
They're all spoken for[00:03:23]
You've chosen the tunes[00:03:28]
Everything is just so is just so[00:03:33]
And now birdsong [00:03:38]
Ice clinking in the sun[00:03:43]
Drip feed of gentle talk[00:03:48]
And pleasantries[00:03:55]
And I wait for a gap in the traffic[00:03:57]
To tell her[00:04:02]
I'll always hold you close[00:04:03]
It's all I'm good for[00:04:06]
