Lyrics Ed Sheeran feat. Devlin - Watchtower

There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion here
mmm I can't get no relief

[Verse 1 :: Devlin]

Yeah, I see jokers on my left, thieves upon my right
You'd find me in the middle if I picked a different life
Before my name started tripling in size
But I'm still showing signs
All attributed tonight
In the pitch black, it's too cold, I'm all alone take me back to the roads I had to rode to get here and I'll hitch back
Get a cab to my mother's house, see my old man and grab a six pack
Tell my brother I love him and give him something that will see him through the hard times
What's a brother for?
When I'm sick of this life I see, it has to be my family who lift me off the floor
Make sense of all the madness in a world full of money, full of tears, full of war
I was a pale man I worked from the earth up
Save your wine for the entrepreneurs

[Chorus :: Ed Sheeran]

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind begins to howl

[Verse 2 - Devlin]
Cause your world is the same as mine
Pour more blood in your cup, take a sip full of sin and let your taste buds savour the buzz.
The flavour of an ill-mannered nature, that lingers on as animals in all of us
Trying to fight for the right to live a life, but some will never win though
That's why they live a lie
I don't think I'll ever win
All of this is anything when I die I hope a lover's at my side
There's no trap door, or get out clause
The world can be your oyster or a set of jail doors
You've seen mine, I think it's time I see yours
I bet you that we've been scarred with the same swords
Some are lost some are alive
Apart from the fact I live my life in the light and now I'm trapped in it
The way I feel, in a few years time I might have a couple kids and just forget I ever wrote lyrics

[Chorus :: Ed Sheeran]

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind begins to howl

[Verse 3 :: Devlin]

Take away the treasure of a man, convinced that he holds heaven in his hands
Even though I ain't religious I'm a little superstitious, maybe there is a promised land
But whether I make it or not is a different matter
I've been a joker, I've been a thief, I've been a rapper
I've been the only enemy that I can never beat
Give me a piece of mind upon a platinum platter

[Chorus :: Ed Sheeran]

We're all along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind begins to howl
