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 into a fight
Nothing got decided and we broke into the morning light
[Chorus:]
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 a light on 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
The grass is wet and the moon is high
A murder of crows chasing the field mice round
[Repeat Chorus:]
And if you want to shy away, shy away
From the shadows and corners of your heart
And if you want the night alone to yourself
Turn the light on and keep out of the dark
[Repeat Chorus:]
