The guard didn’t move
The guard didn’t go
The guard didn’t heave
The guard didn’t ho
Nightwatchman… Showed no emotion
Not with his face and not with his bat
He just stood there
With his straight face
He just stood there
With his straight bat
The guard didn’t drool
The guard didn’t drive
The guard didn’t hit
The guard didn’t run
Nightwatchman… Showed no emotion
Not with face and not with his bat
He put his wicket on the line
He said softly, ‘sir, why take his life, when you can readily have mine?
It matters for little as I come in down the order at quarter to nine’
Nein! Nein! Nein! Nein!
The guard didn’t laugh
The guard didn’t loft
The guard didn’t cut
The guard didn’t cruise
Nightwatchman… Showed no emotion
Not with his face and not with his bat
He just stood there
With his straight face
He just stood there
With his straight bat.
