The Band - Let The Night Fall lyrics

I am the owl who stands alone The lonesome wild I call my home Just like the workman when his day is done I can't wait for that sinking sun Let the night fall Let the night fall Let the night fall Let it fall on me Let it fall on me I am the owl who calls upon the night I am the eyes that abandon the light When no one's there and the dogs bark I'm the voice howling in the dark I am the owl, old and wise The lord of wood with silent eyes The co*k screams at the first spark of dawn That's my cue and I'll be moving on and on
