From the recording The Best-Loved
Lyrics
We were two night owls in a mourning town.
We were on the prowl for some open ground.
And we tried hard not to make a sound
When we were two night owls in a mourning town.
We were two night owls in a hungry place
With an old beach towel I brought just in case.
And the moon put shadows on your face
When were were two night owls in a hungry place.
Show my hands the things they were made for
Cause I'm wide awake and the moon is bright.
Here's our chance to see what we came for
As we fly away into the night.
We were two night owls in the summer brush
And the wind would howl and the stars would hush,
And I've never felt a bigger rush,
When we were two night owls in the summer brush.
Show my hands the things they were made for
Cause I'm wide awake and the moon is bright.
Here's our chance to see what we came for
As we fly away into the night.
Show my hands which way to go.
Show my hands which way to try.
Show my hands. Show my hands. Show me how. You show me how to fly.
We were two night owls in a mourning town.
We were on the prowl for some open ground,
And we just stayed there while the world flew around,
When we were two night owls in a mourning town.
Show my hands the things they were made for
Cause I'm wide awake and the moon is bright.
Here's our chance to see what we came for
As we fly away into the night.
Show my hands which way to go.
Show my hands which way to try.
Show my hands. Show my hands. Show me how. You show me how to fly.
