Lyrics for Close Watch
Never win, never lose Never win and never lose There's nothing much to choose Between the right and wrong Never win, never lose Nothing lost and nothing gained Still things aren't quite the same Between you and me I still hear your voice at night When I turn out the light And try to settle down But there's nothing I can do (nothing lost, nothing gained) I can't live without you (nothing lost) I can't live without you (nothing gained) You and me, you and me You and me, you and me I keep a close watch I keep a close watch I keep a close watch I keep a close watch A close watch, a close watch A close watch, a close watch (Never win and never los) I still hear your voice at night (There's nothing much to choose) I still hear your voice at night I keep a close watch I keep a close watch I keep a close watch I keep a close watch I keep a close watch (turn up the lights) I keep a close watch (turn up the lights) I keep a close watch (turn up the lights) Turn up the light You and me Turn up the light (Oh, oh) turn up the light Turn up the light Nothing's lost Turn up the light Nothing gained Turn up the light Nothing lost Turn up the light Nothing gained Turn up the light Nothing lost Turn up the light Nothing gained Turn up the light Nothing lost Turn up the light Nothing gained
