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
it's turning darker with the passing time
but i'll be here still. 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
it's turning darker with the passing time
but i'll be here still. 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
it's turning darker with the passing time
but i'll be here still. i'm a night owl waiting for you. i'm a night owl waiting for you. ooh ooh
