About

For a song of such varied instrumentation, and nothing less than a Lyricon solo, “Night Owl” seems characterised by isolation. There is a closeness throughout the lyrics, making note of “refuge and hope,” of crowds, and of an unidentified “you” (perhaps the singer himself). Yet sundown inevitably me...

Night Owl Lyrics

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 no no, no no, no no

The lights are low and the music 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 okay
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 no no, no no, no no no no no

You've seen it all, 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 no no, oh no no no, no no no no, no no no no, no no, no no
