Night Owl

About Night Owl

"Night Owl" is a song by Gerry Rafferty. It is the second track on his 1979 album of the same name. It features a Lyricon solo played by "Baker Street" saxophonist Raphael Ravenscroft. The song made the top five in the UK Singles Chart, and along with "Baker Street" is one of two solo efforts by Gerry Rafferty to accomplish this feat. Though the single was a top-five hit for Rafferty in his native United Kingdom, "Night Owl" was never released in this format in North America, at a time when interest in Rafferty was at its peak after the success of his single "Baker Street" and album City to City a year earlier. In the US, "Days Gone Down" was used as the lead single from Night Owl instead. The B-side on the original "Night Owl" single was the fourth track from the same album, "Why Won't You Talk To Me". more »

Night comes down and finds you alone
In a space and time of your own
Lost in dreams in a world full of shadows

Down the street the neon light shines
Offering refuge and hope to the blind
Who stumble in with no thought of tomorrow

Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
And I end up looking for some winner goal
Yes I should know better but I cant say no
Oh no no nono nono no

The light are low when the music is loud
You watch yourself as you play to the crowd
One more face in a palace of mirrors

One more drink your sailin away
One more dream but its looking okay
One more time to watch the flow of the river

Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
And I end up looking for some winner goal
Yes I should know better but I cant say no
Oh no no nono no no no no no no

Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low
And I end up looking for some winner goal
Yes I should know better but I cant say no
Oh no no
Oh no no no
No no no no no no no no no no
