Parliament Of Owls

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
