'''"Nightwatchman"''' is the 5th song on [[start\|American Music Club]]'s second album, 1987’s ''[[Engine]]''. [[Mark Eitzel]] told ''Contrast'' that the song came to him one night sitting on the steps of his house in Ohio. "There was a stormy sky - the sky was beautiful. You look down from the sky and everything is stupid. Everything is a waste; everything is asleep and dead. And I looked up at the sky and it seemed like the sky was trying to say something to me. If nobody could hear the pain up there ,if there was nobody to witness, then the world is completely and utterly desolate."<ref>{{cite web \| url=http://www.geocities.ws/rsjbraz/amccontrast1988.html \| work=Contrast \| date=Winter 1988 \| author= \| title=American Music Club \| accessdate=June 16, 2017}}</ref>

==Lyrics==
I remember how I let you down 
Everything you say reminds me of the pain 
How you lost your dignity 
Passing in and out of a dream

Is there some secret I'm supposed to know 
Is there some secret I'd always miss 
'Cause there's no dignity when you have to live 
Within the boundaries of a kiss

And the nightwatchman 
Yeah he's asleep 
Nightwatchman 
Oh come on tell me what's wrong 
Nightwatchman 
Is the night too long

Is the same lie you gave me before 
I don't care anything you say is just fine 
I'll just sit and watch the traffic passing by outside 
The will in the world it's the prevailing tide

You're supposed to watch the night as it passes by 
You're never supposed to need anyone 
'Cause once I knew the secret to happiness 
I knew it once, oh but now it's gone

And the nightwatchman 
Yeah he's asleep 
Nightwatchman 
I can't wake him up 
Watchman 
C'mon tell me what's wrong 
Nightwatchman 
Is the night too long
