Lyrics
Night Owl
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.
Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.
Down the street the neon light shines
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
You stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no no
No no no no
The lights are low and the Muzak is loud
You watch yourself as you play to the crowd
One more face in a palace of mirrors.
One more drink, you're sailing away
One more dream but it's looking ok
One more time to watch the flow of the river.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no no
No no no no no no no oooooooh
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no no
No no no no
You've seen it all yeah you've seen it before
Like a fool you always come back for more
You live your life like there was no more tomorrow.
Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end looking for somewhere to go
Yes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
No no no no
No no no no
No no
No no
Oooooooooooh
