The Owl
Greg Connor
There is a story behind this song. I’ll leave it at that for now.
Moonlight shined through the trees in the woods
A barred owl called and I understood
Nocturnal presence flew silently by
I tried to relate then called back in kind
.
Over my shoulder then quickly was gone
It called from the tree top, said I’m not alone
It seemed to advise me on which way to go
There’s a lot more to life than I’ll ever know
.
I heard the owl calling, I tried to reply
The moonlight danced on the trees
All alone, I can’t explain why
The owl was calling to me
.
Perched on the branch the raptor looked wise
I felt right at home when it looked in my eyes
Stars seemed to shimmer comforting me
I shined like the forest of moonlit trees
I like the "leave it at that for now" intro! Let the listener fill in the background; you've sketched out the foreground quite nicely.
Some time back, you left me a note on a song, Kingston Recliner:Destiny . . . You know, your verse might make a nice bridge to really capture the essence of “Destiny”. I just saw it and am wondering what "Destiny" is.
Another listen to an amazing tune... Happy 2022 to you!!! And thanks for coming by to play the hits!!
Greg, this song and lyrics are amazing and completely touched my heart as silent tears slide down my cheeks. A tribute from the heart for your mom with love in each word.
