Lyrics Night Owl - 2010 - Remaster - James Taylor

Catfish, he tends to groove on the water
It's just where he's bound to be
And a monkey kind 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 I'm a night owl, honey, sleep all day long
Now, most folks, they like the good day time, baby
They like to see the shining sun
They're up in the morning, off and running
Till they're too tired for having fun
But when the sun goes down and them bright lights shine
My daytime has just begun
Oh, I'm a night owl, honey, oh, sleep all day long
Said, turn off that bright light, baby
You're just about to drive me blind
Draw them curtains for me, mama
You watch and you'll see how my love light shines
Now, there's 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 you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for string bean to lend you a hand
Because my eyes, they can't stand the light
No, I'm a night owl, honey, sleep all-, sleep all day long
I said, sleep all day long
Oh, I'm a night owl, honey
Said, I'm a night owl, honey, yeah, yeah
Said, I'm a night owl, honey
You jump on the night train comin' on by
I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, night owl, baby
You gotta try just to taste it, wait and see
You're gonna be fine with me
Said, I'm a night owl, baby
Oh, got to [?] that I'm a night owl, honey, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm a night owl, honey, I'm a night owl
I'm a night owl, baby, yeah, yeah
I said, woo, yeah, oh, no, I'm a night owl
