about

"Nightwatch" started out as an upbeat bossa nova which turned dark dub before eventually morphing into this shoegazing of sorts.

lyrics

I don't really know what I've been doing
Enduring things I find hard to abide
Now I'm looking for something
I know what it's supposed to be like

I'm safe and I'm sound, the night is watching
I'm taking in the strength it provides
I'll find a special place for your wedding ring
And display all the things I should not hide

I recall you saying
With a mischievous spark in your eye
"All the world is a loony bin
The headmaster is right by your side"

I'm feeling home again in my own skin
And I can see the healing of my heart
I look up to the sky and I see nothing
Except for a million twinkling stars

People come and go – it is life's logic
There's always one to be the next in line
Ties are unbound, others are growing
I'm ready now to leave the past behind
