Let the Night Fall - THE BAND

I am the owl who stands alone

The lonesome wild, I call my home

Just like the workman when his day is done

I can't wait for that sinking sun

Let the night fall, ooh, let the night fall

Please, please, let the night fall

Let it fall on me, let it fall on me

I am the owl who calls upon the night

I am the eyes that abandon the light

When no one's there and the dogs bark

I'm the voice howling in the dark

Let the night fall, ooh, let the night fall

Please, please, let the night fall

Let it fall on me, let it fall on me

I am the owl, old and wise

The lord of wood with silent eyes

The cock screams at the first spark of dawn

That's my cue and I'll be moving on and on

And let the night fall, ooh, let the night fall

Please, please, let the night fall

Let it fall on me, ohh

Let the night fall, ooh, let the night fall

Please, please, let the night fall

Let it fall on me

Let the night fall

Let the night fall

Let the night fall
