Last Watch w.lyrics

The shift is over, the logs are all signed I’m the only eyes left open in the dark Watching the edge of the world turn to gold Before the rest of the station starts to spark The shadows retreat from the metal halls As the first light touches the silent glass I hold this moment like a secret kept Watching the long, lonely night finally pass On the last watch, before the day breaks I witness the glory that no one else sees The orbit continues, a brand new cycle Finding my hope in the cosmic breeze I, am the keeper of the morning Soon the alarms will ring, the voices will rise And I'll fade away into a dreamless sleep But for these few seconds, the universe is mine A promise of light that I’m allowed to keep Goodbye to the stars, hello to the sun The lonely vigil is finally done I leave my heart on the glass horizon Until the next night has begun I, am... heading to sleep. The sun is up.
