Night Watchman - Francis and the Lights

When the lights go out

In your building

I will call you

Saying, «Are you sleeping yet?»

Then I take two steps and I’m turning back again

The same color scene keeps playing in my head

I could take you home but you’re already there

Standing by the windowsill, hands in the air

How long would you stay up

To see me come in?

How long would you stay up

What if I’m not coming at all?

The night man now is turning out the light

Two steps, I’m turning back again

Back to the roof, back to ledge

Late drive a cab, she say, «He's a bad man»

It’s just a short trip over the bridge

I’ve gotten used to it

Being alone

Now it’s all I’ve got
