Night Owl
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 up looking for somewhere to go
Yes I should know better but I can’t say no
Oh 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 up looking for somewhere to go
Yes I should know better but I can’t say no
Oh no…
Yes I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end up looking for somewhere to go
Yes I should know better but I can’t say no
Oh 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 up looking for somewhere to go
Yes I should know better but I can’t say no
Oh no..
