Up and down the country, over woodland, over plain
Guardin‘ and protectin‘ from a threat that rose again
Many years spent on the trail, been deep in and back from hell

Avoided and been given names by folks that owe me well
They would duck and cover from stories I could tell
From the road outside the gate and while I rest it‘s getting late

I sit and watch the scenery from my side of the room
The little hope in secrecy we had might soon be gone
I can‘t relax, can‘t tell my name, my cover can‘t be blown
So I sit and watch the scenery from my side of the room

Against the wall and waiting, blow smoke up to the roof
Tired shapes in candlelight, shadows slowly move
I‘ve not yet met my company, through the haze they look at me

I sit and watch the scenery from my side of the room
The little hope in secrecy we had might soon be gone
I can‘t relax, can‘t tell my name, my cover can‘t be blown
So I sit and watch the scenery from my side of the room

There‘s foreign tongues and eyes
Simple folks and spies
There‘s endless streams of ale
And drunken tongues tell tales

I sit and watch the scenery from my side of the room
The little hope in secrecy we had might soon be gone
I can‘t relax, can‘t intervene, my cover can‘t be blown
So I sit and watch it all come down from my side of the room

My side of the room
My side of the room
My side of the room
