Watchman (law enforcement)
Watchmen were groups of men, usually authorised by a state, government, or society, to deter criminal activity and provide law enforcement. Watchmen have existed in various guises throughout the world and were generally succeeded by the emergence of formally organised policing.
Early origins
An early reference to a watch can be found in the Bible where the Prophet Ezekiel states that it was the duty of the watch to blow the horn and sound the alarm. (Ezekiel 33:1-6)
The existence of watchmen has also been found in the Ottoman, Greek and Egyptian Empires.
The Roman Empire turned the role of a watchman into a profession by creating two organizations:
Watchmen in England
The Problem of the Night
The streets in London were dark and had the shortage and poor quality of artificial light. It had been recognized for centuries that the coming of darkness to the unlit streets of a town brought a heightened threat of danger, that the night cover to the disorderly and immoral, and to those bent on robbery or burglary or who in other ways threatened physical harm to people in the streets and in their houses.
Watchman (hymn)
"Watchman" is an American Christian hymn, published in 1845 in The Southern and Western pocket harmonist.
Lyrics
1. Shall Wisdom cry aloud, And not her speech be heard?
The voice of God's eternal word, De-serves it no regard?
2. "I was his chief delight, His everlasting Son,
Before the first of all his works, Creation, was begun.
3. "Before the flying clouds, Before the solid land,
Before the fields, before the floods, I dwelt at his right hand.
4. "When he adorn'd the skies, And built them, I was there,
To order when the sun should rise, And marshal every star.
5. "When he pour'd out the sea, And spread the flowing deep;
I gave the flood a firm decree, In its own bounds to keep.
6. "Upon the empty air The earth was balanced well;
With joy I saw the mansion, where The sons of men should dwell.
7. "My busy thoughts at first On their salvataion ran,
Ere sin was born, or Adam's dust Was fashion'd to a man.
8. "Then come, receive my grace, Ye children, and be wise;
Happy the man that keeps my ways; the man that shuns them dies."

Watchman
by: Peggy SueFriend, come to bed
I wanted until the pretty ones
Had all laid down their heads
And then I said come to bed
You know that I'm yours
When we're the only bodies left
My friend, it want to stay
We can wait for all the other possibilities to fade
And by then it will be late
And I won't say a word and we can go our seperate ways
My friend, don't give it straight
I'd love to see effort of you lying to my face
So lie, lie with me
Because you know I'd like you best
If you were lying through your teeth
Kid, don't kid yourself
You're always watching someone who is watching someone else
Where's the someone always watching you
You looked away from him just so that you could scan the room
And watch, watch your eyes
I tried but I get dizzy trying to follow them side to side
And watch, watch your mouth
I tried my very best but I can't follow what comes out
I only came here to see you see me
I only came here to see you see me
I only came here to see you see me
I only came here to watch you watch me leave
I did my best, to let it rest
No I didn't say a word, but still I could have said much less
I held my tongs you hel the rest
But you held it far to long
And I got in over my head
So friend, I'll give it straight
I always need a hand to hold when it is growing late
So I will lie, lie for you
Because you know that I am yours
