Shel The Wise Old Owl lyrics

Too many complicated questions come from unequated Lover's vows
Well if to love means to be free then why do broken hearts have keys endowed
Well I pray to the Wise Old Owl every night before I sleep
Tell me why my lonely life is never like the stories that I read

All she said was-
Woah oh oh, ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo, hey ay ay ey ay lay ey ay hoo hoo (X4)

At night I feel the gloom, I hear the Wild Coyote talkin' to the lonely moon
And all my worries take me far away from sleepin safely in my room
Well I pray to the Wise Old Owl every night before I sleep
Tell me what it means to love before the moon above begins to weep

All she said was-
Woah oh oh, ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo, hey ay ay ey ay lay ey ay hoo hoo (X4)


My dreams have had their price, look up at the sky tonight
Shards of glass from my slipper make the stars in the Dipper
I know you see them nightly, do recall you held me tightly
Once upon a time, once upon a time

Well I pray to the Wise Old Owl every night before I sleep
Tell me why the song you sing is empty as your hollow tree

Ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo, ooh woo (X2)

Woah oh oh, ooh ooh ooh hoo hoo, hey ay ay ey ay lay ey ay hoo hoo (X2)

Ho oh oh ooh, hey, ho oh oh ooh . . . hoo hoo
