Nightwatch

about

The lyrics for this song began with Janette's memories of sitting with Brian's Dad, the night he died, but they evolved into a general theme of witnessing a soul leaving this realm, but knowing that all we can do is just BE there for them.

lyrics

Nightwatch

I’m like a crumpled fiver
I was in your pocket all night
A witness to your journey,
riding hard towards the light

Solace – You need somewhere to rest your weary head
Solace – but there’s no peace to be found in your bed
Solace – when you know your work is good and done
Solace – and you’re pulling free from everyone

Go … We know, we know

When a soul finds a crack in the door
there’s nothing you can do, but surrender and be….
When a heart cannot give any more, I’m here to give you
what I know you would to give me….

Go … We know, we know

I’m like a crumpled fiver
I was in your pocket all night
A witness to your journey, riding hard towards the light
I’m a sad survivor in the wreckage of the night
Your eyes blind to my presence, you were gone in the first light
