All along the watch tower

困頓的時候
總會不期然想起這首歌...

歌詞正正回應了中學老師在同學錄留下的格言：困倦我多情，艱險我奮進
挾著少許懷疑和不安，昂首向前衝，正是我面對逆境的處理方式...

There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief,
There's too much confusion, I cant get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.

No reason to get excited, the thief, he kindly spoke,
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and i, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
