John Cale
Close Watch
[Verse 1]
Never win and never lose
There's nothing left to choose
Between right and wrong
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Still things ain't quite the same
Between you and me

[Chorus]
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

[Verse 2]
I still hear your voice at night
When I turn out the light
And try to settle down
But there is nothing I can do
'Cause I can't live without you any way at all

[Chorus]
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine

[Outro]
Tick-tock-tack
Oh, I am sure
No harm will come to you no more
'Cause I find myself in your hands
Don't you be so hard on yourself
