Ooh ooh ooh...

Where the steeples and the skyways meet

Through the lonely and deserted streets

I've been wandering my way back home.

Ooh, see the girl with the secret smile

There goes my heart a million miles away

Wherever I roam.

Praying for the bright head lights

Coming over the hill

(I'll never go away again, I swear.)

It's turning darker with the passing time,

But I'll be here still.

(I hope you're not asleep when I get there)

I'm a night owl waiting for you.

Ooh ooh...

Counting lights, and water houses

I'm making ground, burning daylight hours

Getting lost in rolling fields and pastures.

Ooh ooh

But as the stars began to fall

I find myself trying to count them all

And wish on one to get me there faster.

Praying for the bright head lights

Coming over the hill

(I'll never go away again I swear.)

It's turning darker with the passing time,

But I'll be here still.

(I hope you're not asleep when I get there)

I'm a night owl waiting for you.

Hurry up, hurry up

Before the morning

I'll be staying up, staying up

Dreaming of you.

Praying for the bright head lights

Coming over the hill

(I'll never go away again I swear.)

It's turning darker with the passing time,

But I'll be here still.

(I hope you're not asleep when I get there)

I'm a night owl waiting for you.

I'm a night owl waiting for you. ooh ooh...
