Night Owl

Where the steeples and the skyways meet

Through the lonely and deserted streets

I've been wandering my way back home

To the girl with the secret smile

That holds my heart a million miles away

Wherever I roam



Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill

I'll never go away again I swear

It's turning darker with the passing time but I'll be here still

I hope you're not asleep when I get there

I'm a night owl waiting for you



County lines and water towers

I'm making ground burning daylight hours

Getting lost in rolling fields and pastures

But as the stars begin to fall

I find myself trying to count them all

And wish on one to get me there faster



Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill

I'll never go away again I swear

It's turning darker with the passing time but I'll be here still

I hope you're not asleep when I get there

I'm a night owl waiting for you



Hurry up, hurry up

Before the morning

I'll be staying up, staying up

Dreaming of you



Praying for the bright headlights coming over the hill

I'll never go away again I swear

It's turning darker with the passing time but I'll be here still

I hope you're not asleep when I get there

I'm a night owl waiting for you

I'm a night owl waiting for you
