Lyrics:

There was a parliament of owls
In the dark where the night things prowl
We were warm inside keeping our voices down

We talked late into the night
Got our feathers ruffled and started a fight
Nothing got decided and we broke off in the morning light

If you want to run away, run away
From the shadows and corners of your heart
And if you want the night alone to yourself
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark

Things from home I can't find in the city
My father is tall, my mother is pretty
And I want you the same as I did back then

Grass is wet and the moon is high
A murder of crows up in the sky
And those ruffians chasing the field mice 'round

If you want to run away, run away
From the shadows and corners of your heart
And if you want the night alone to yourself
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark

If you wanna shy away, shy away
From the shadows and corners of your heart
And if you want the night alone to yourself
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark

If you want to run away, run away
From the shadows and corners of your heart
And if you want the night alone to yourself
Turn the light out and keep out of the dark
