White Owl

Silent you ride
Passenger side
But you’re not really there
In my head
You speak to me
When my dreams become nightmares
Verse 1
You’re here to teach me something
I have so much to learn
Your eyes refuse to let me
deny the things I yearn
There’s danger in your silent call
I have no choice but to follow
I can no longer hold my tongue
Choking on words I can’t swallow
Chorus
White Owl
You’re following me again
Can’t tell where this insanity ends
Is there
a reason you take flight
In my soul at the dead of night
Verse 2
The beat of wings is offering me
A choice between life and death
Do I give into the wanting
that is cutting off my breath
Between Niagara and Sahara
I have laid my body down
I’ve always dried up in the sand
But you’re making me drown.
Bridge
I will wait to dream again
For your quiet storm
To rain upon me
Somehow my will is in the hands
of a fantasy
Verse 3
The lesson was simple
And although my heart’s been torn
Pain is only knowledge being born
I watch you ride on your wing
Into the night again
In what could have been an enemy
I have found the strangest friend
Repeat chorus
Silent you ride
Passenger side
But you’re not really there.
