[Chorus](x2) I am the owl, the owl of love At night I s** it in, I s** it in By the day, the startled morn I breathe it out again [Verse 1] Alone on the branch, the owl of love With the stars and the moon And the moon over cloud I take in the souls of the minds of the world And sift out the weeds from the few [Chorus] I am the owl, the owl of love At night I s** it in, I s** it in By the day, the startled morn I breathe it out again [Verse 2] Breathing it in, breathing it out Over again and again and again I am speckled like the hare I may not breathe again [Verse 3] Alone on a branch, holding it in I sift through the minds and the souls of the world I am shattered by the calm I may not breathe again [Chorus] I am the owl, the owl of love At night I s** it in, I s** it in By the day, the startled morn I breathe it out again
