Night Owl — текст песни (James Taylor)

A catfish he tends to groove on the water

Its just where hes bound to be

And a monkey kinds of flashes on fruits and bananas

So he lives in the top of a tree

But my eyes are made for darkness

And so the nighttime is right for me



Said Im a night owl, honey

Sleep all day long



Now most folks they like the good day time

They like to see the shining sun

Theyre up in the morning

Off and running

till theyre too tired for having fun

But when the sun goes down

And them bright light shine

My daytime has just begun



Im a night owl, honey

Sleep all day long



Said turn off that bright light, baby

Youre just about to drive me blind

Draw them curtains for me, mama

You watch and youll see

How my love light shines



Now, theres two sides to this

Great big world

And one of them is always night

Hey, if you can take care of

Business in the sunshine, baby

I guess youre gonna be alright

But dont come looking for stringbean

To lend you a hand

Because my eyes they cant stand the light



No, Im a night owl, honey

Sleep all, sleep all day long

I said sleep all day long

Im a night owl, honey
