- Night Owl Lyrics / with translationsNight 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 look, look, 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 look, look, 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
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end look, look, 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
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 look, look, 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 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 look, look, 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
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low
And I end look, look, 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
