Lyrics Indigo Girls

Indigo Girls

All Along The Watchtower

There must be some kinda way out of here

Said the joker to the thief

I want to tell you now

You know there's just too much confusion

And I can't no I can't get no relief

All these businessmen they all drink our wine

And the plowman well he dig my earth

And you know that none fo them along the line

Can show me what any of this is worth

You know we wanted to see it now didn't we didn't we

There ain't no reason to get excited

The thief you know he kindly spoke

Well now there are those among us right here right now

Who still see life as some kind of a joke

But you and I we have been through that

I tel yu that this this is not our fate no no no

Now let us all not talk falsely now

You know the hour it's getting late

I said all along the watchtower

The princes they kept the view

While the women the women

They came and then they went

And barefoot servants too

That's me that's you

But outside there's a cold distance

Listen for the wildcats here them growl

Two riders were approaching

As the wind began to howl

I said now shelter me

Oh there are those among us right here right now

Who still see life as some kind of a joke

All along the watchtower

I said all along this watchtower

Those of you who still have eyes to see

Ears hear me

You will be saved by grace in the end

Saved by time if you don't understand

That your hatred is rooted in your fear

And your paranoia and insecurities

Well they don't belong here

You got to take someone's hand

You got to learn to make a stand

And it's one two three four

Look at the sky you can open the door

And take my hand take my hand

Take my hand

Ah you don't want to touch

Don't you want to feel

Don't you know that this is real

I said shelter me

Shelter me shelter me

Shelter me

And save yourself save yourself

Save your save your save your save your

Save your save your save your save your

Save your

Save

And you

You

And you are a part of the world

You you are a part of the world

You gotta learn to touch to feel

And know that you are real

I said learn learn
