|
There was a parliament of owls |
|
In the dark where the night things prowl |
|
We were warm inside keeping our voices down |
|
We talked late into the night |
|
Got our feathers ruffled and started a fight |
|
Nothing got decided and we broke off in the morning light |
|
If you want to run away, run away |
|
From the shadows and corners of your heart |
|
And if you want the night alone to yourself |
|
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark |
|
Things from home |
|
I can't find in the city |
|
My father is tall, my mother is pretty |
|
And I want you the same as |
|
I did back then |
|
Grass is wet and the moon is high |
|
A murder of crows up in the sky |
|
And those ruffians chasing the field mice 'round |
|
If you want to run away, run away |
|
From the shadows and corners of your heart |
|
And if you want the night alone to yourself |
|
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark |
|
If you wanna shy away, shy away |
|
From the shadows and corners of your heart |
|
And if you want the night alone to yourself |
|
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark |
|
If you want to run away, run away |
|
From the shadows and corners of your heart |
|
And if you want the night alone to yourself |
|
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark |
