[instrumental intro | wistful] [Verse 1] Been up here awhile Watching the line Sea meeting heaven One inch at a time Kept watch believing I'd somehow know What might be coming Before it could show Time for me to go [Refrain] You have the watch I've seen enough Nothing out there Needs both of us You take the horizon I'll head below You have the watch I'll let it go [Verse 2] You climb the ladder I point out the lights That one's been holding Off starboard all night We stand there together A minute or two Same stretch of water Old to me, new to you [Refrain] You have the watch I've seen enough Nothing out there Needs both of us You take the horizon I'll head below You have the watch I'll let it go [Bridge] Can't watch forever Can't look away So somebody watches While somebody plays Somebody's sleeping Somebody's fed Somebody's mending A sail down below deck [Final Refrain] You have the watch (you have the watch) The horizon runs mile by mile I’ll go below where the lamplight glows And climb back up after a while
