Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"Night Owl" lyrics


Night comes down and finds you aloneIn a space and time of your ownLost in dreams in a world full of shadows.
Down the street the neon light shinesOffering refuge and hope to the blindYou stumble in with no thought of tomorrow.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noNo no no no
The lights are low and the Muzak is loudYou watch yourself as you play to the crowdOne more face in a palace of mirrors.
One more drink, you're sailing awayOne more dream but it's looking okOne more time to watch the flow of the river.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noNo no no no no no no oooooooh
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noNo no no no
You've seen it all yeah you've seen it beforeLike a fool you always come back for moreYou live your life like there was no more tomorrow.
Night comes down and finds you aloneIn a space and time of your ownLost in dreams in a world full of shadows.
Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets lowAnd I end looking for somewhere to goYes, I should know better but I can't say no.
Oh no no noOh no no noNo no no noNo no no noNo noNo noOooooooooooh
