Owlsong
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Who who who
Owls turn their heads around cuz they can't avert their eyes
And 'who' is what the owl cries when his true lover lies bleeding
bleeding
Owls feel a lot of things that we don't realize
'Who' is what the owl cries when his true brother dies needing him
needing him
Who who who
Owls see so many things they can't help but being wise
'Who' is what the owl cries when his true mother flies, leaving him
leaving him
Owls can't be bothered with all of the hows and whys
And 'who' is what the owl cries when the blue southern skies plead for him
plead for him
Who who who
One of these days the owls are gonna take me
Wise old birds are really gonna wake me
One of these days the owls are gonna take me
Wise old birds are really gonna make me
