The Nits - The Night-Owl lyrics
[The Nits - The Night-Owl lyrics]
We walk where the road is curling up
Like smoke above our heads
Here we stand with our backs
Against the wall of the house
Where the man once wrote 'Suzanne'
With my friend from Finland i went down
From Athens in the night
In a boat, two pilgrims on a bench
To the island where the donkey is never shot
It breaks my heart the night-owl sings
It breaks my heart oohooo, my heart
In the room the bird is on a wire
When we look outside it's gone
It flies through the trees with pomegranates
And it falls down like the moon
Into the sea
It breaks my heart the night-owl sings
It breaks my heart oohooo, my heart
Where I go
Like smoke above our heads
Here we stand with our backs
Against the wall of the house
Where the man once wrote 'Suzanne'
With my friend from Finland i went down
From Athens in the night
In a boat, two pilgrims on a bench
To the island where the donkey is never shot
It breaks my heart the night-owl sings
It breaks my heart oohooo, my heart
In the room the bird is on a wire
When we look outside it's gone
It flies through the trees with pomegranates
And it falls down like the moon
Into the sea
It breaks my heart the night-owl sings
It breaks my heart oohooo, my heart
Where I go
