lyrics

Don’t mind my ideas, they’re just spilling into the sky.
Can you feel the heat? It’s like long summer days gone by.
Looking down from here, it’s like I’m looking back on times
Where from the top of the watchtower, you caught my eye.

Along a road that’s now as wide as it is long,
From the top of the watchtower, you’re moving on.
Along a road that took you away and left me alone,
From the top of the watchtower, the light has gone.

Not always my station, but somehow it’s now my own,
Since times when you departed and I’d see you walking home.
If I close my eyes, it’s like I see you down the line
Where from the top of the watchtower, you blew my mind

I watched you go,
I watched you go
Along a road that took you away and left me alone,
From the top of the watchtower, the light has gone.
