Night Owl - Gerry Rafferty

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 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 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 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 oooooooh

Yes, I get a little lonely when the sun gets low

And I end looking for somewhere to go Yes, I should know better but I can’t say no.

Oh no no no No no no 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 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 Oooooooooooh
