Owlsong

(album: Modern Pain - 1995)

Who who who...

Owls turn their heads around 'cause they can't avert their eyes
And 'who' is what the owl cries when his true lover lies bleeding
Bleeding

Owls feel a lot of things that we don't realize
'Who' is what the owl cries when his true brother dies needing him
Needing him

Who who who...

Owls see so many things they can't help but being wise
'Who' is what the owl cries when his true mother flies, leaving him
Leaving him

Owls can't be bothered with all of the how's and whys
And 'who' is what the owl cries when the blue southern skies plead for him
Plead for him

Who who who...

One of these days the owls are gonna take me
Wise old birds are really gonna wake me
One of these days the owls are gonna take me
Wise old birds are really gonna make me
