The Hour of the Owl Lyrics

In the hour of the owl- the hour of the owl

Dark shadows fall, old memories call- and then they start to prowl

Through my mind, until they find- a place to hoot and howl

Each second's filled with sorrow- in the hour of the owl

All day long the clock is ticking

A countdown to my come apart

The lonely seems to loom, on a pendulum of gloom

Ready for the wretchedness to start

In the hour of the owl- the hour of the owl

Dark shadows fall, old memories call- and then they start to prowl

Through my mind, until they find- a place to hoot and howl

Each second's filled with sorrow- in the hour of the owl

The midnight moon sees through me

And the nightshades they all know

Turmoil and jitters- lurk like creatures and critters

Waiting to take part in the show

In the hour of the owl- the hour of the owl

Dark shadows fall, old memories call- and then they start to prowl

Through my mind, until they find- a place to hoot and howl

Each second's filled with sorrow- in the hour of the owl

Desperation drifts through the darkness

And superstitions fly in fits and starts

Old feelings flock together like birds of a feather

Till the sun sinks and sanity departs

In the hour of the owl- the hour of the owl

Dark shadows fall, old memories call- and then they start to prowl

Through my mind, until they find- a place to hoot and howl

Each second's filled with sorrow- in the hour of the owl

Each second's filled with sorrow- in the hour of the owl
