THE NIGHT OWL song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

I was trying to shut the howling
of the whistle out of my sleep
trying to get back a memory
that was buried much to deep

taking the Night Owl for a ride
that ended at midnight
I only wanted to say hello
but it didn't come out right

the Night Owl is the last train out
your only bona fide
the Night Owl is your final route
but you need a ticket to ride

I don't know the reason I'm coming back
but I didn't want you to wait
but I need you I want you I got to have
something more than hate

I'm not a common outlaw
I'm not on the lam
I thought it could last forever
that's just the way I am

running down the mountain
flying on steel wheels
with the wind screaming in my dreams
and tumbling head over heels

I was under the simple delusion
of thinking that there was a door
that I could walk through whenever I want
because that's what a door is for

I made this mistake in belief
that I could have what I want
because you swore it was never true
and ghosts don't care who they haunt

I once had a crystal clear vision
that somehow I could find a home
but here I am stuck on the road again
give a way a last a loved alone

there is an unknown number of wilderness
an unknown number of wild
and the only honest way to face
with the grace of a wondering child

the Night Owl is the last train out
your only bona fide
the Night Owl is your final route
but you need a ticket to ride
