The Night-Owl
We walk where the road is curling up
Like smokes above our heads
Here we stand with our backs
Against the wall of the house
Where the man once wrote Suzanne
With my friend from Finland
I went down
From Athens in the night
In a boat two pilgrims on a bench
To the island where the donkey
Is never shot
It breaks my heart
The night-owl sings
It breaks my heart
Ooohooo my heart
In the room the bird is on a wire
When we look outside
It's gone
It flies through the trees
With pomegranates
And it falls down
Like the moon
Into the sea
It breaks my heart
The night-owl sings
It breaks my heart
Ooohooo my heart
(where we go)
From the album Giant Normal Dwarf by The Nits, CBS Holland 1990. Henk Hofstede, vocals. Written and produced by The Nits. The song was recorded in Amsterdam in 1990.
