The Owl - Gruf

My rock candy passion is bittersweet, and armed to the teeth 'Cause she would rather fall in chocolate than fall in love Especially with me I stood under the waterfall With a kiwi-pineapple parasol As Cinderella dropped the crystal ball And made a concrete cavern A caterpillar concert hall I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever In deep blue seas of paper mâché (Let's dance in the moonlight) A barracuda chased our dog days away forever Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love (And dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club I would rather go swimming with great white sharks Then wade in romance 'Cause I can never find the courage to ask her to dinner Or even to dance (Dance in the moonlight) Don't sweat under your overcoat 'Cause my heart can harbor this paddle boat You'll hit the bottom of the highest note And the chatty tree frogs will never wanna leave your throat I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever In deep blue seas of paper mâché (Let's dance in the moonlight) A barracuda chased our dog days away forever Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love (And dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Da da da da, da da da da Let go of the world you know And plug in the party lights Soak your cares in the solar flares That light up these island nights Orange eclipse I can taste your lips In the citrus afternoon If you can fly don't stop at the sky 'Cause there's footprints on the moon (With you) I wish that we could sail our sad days away forever In deep blue seas of paper mâché (Let's dance in the moonlight) A barracuda chased our dog days away forever Let's sink or swim 'til we fall in love (And dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club (Let's dance in the moonlight) When we join the yacht club

Breathe and I'll carry you away Into the velvet sky And we'll stir the stars around And watch them fall away Into the Hudson Bay And plummet out of sight and sound The open summer breeze Will sweep you through the hills Where I live in the alpine heights Below the Northern Lights I spend my coldest nights Alone, awake and thinking of The weekend we were in love (The weekend we were in love) Home among these mountain tops Can be so awfully dull A thousand miles from the tide But photos on the walls Of New York shopping malls Distract me so I stay inside I wish the rockets stayed Over the promenade 'Cause I would make a hook and eye And fish them from the sky My darling, she and I We're hanging on so take us high To sing the world goodbye I am floating away Lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue And I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling, we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere Are you there? Are you there Or are you just a decoy dream in my head? Am I home or am I simply tumbling all alone? I am floating away Lost in a silent ballet I'm dreaming you're out in the blue And I am right beside you Awake to take in the view Late nights and early parades Still photos and noisy arcades My darling, we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing And we can go anywhere Are you there? Are you there?

I saw the autumn leaves Peel up off the street Take wing on the balmy breeze And sweep you off your feet And you blushed as they scooped you up On sugar maple wings To gaze down on the city below Ablaze with wondrous things Downy feathers kiss your face And flutter everywhere Reality is a lovely place But I wouldn't wanna live there I wouldn't wanna live there Weighed down by heavy lids And lunar lullabies I knew you were wide awake 'Cause you smile with your eyes Downy feathers kiss your face And flutter everywhere Reality is a lovely place But I wouldn't wanna live there From the green belt balcony The wildfires look so pretty Ponderosa canopy I'd never leave if it were up to me To the ruby redwood tree And to the velvet climbing ivy Painted all mahogany I'd never leave if it were up to me If it were up to me With a starry brush Paint the dusk venetian blue 'Cause in the evening hush You'll never believe the view And when the leaves return And their whisperings fill the night They'll freeze and burn Where fire and ice collide Where fire and ice collide Can you feel a silk embrace In the satin air? If we dissolve without a trace Will the real world even care? Downy feathers kiss your face And flutter everywhere Reality is a lovely place But I wouldn't wanna live there I wouldn't wanna live there I saw the autumn leaves Peel up off the street Take wing on the balmy breeze And sweep you off your feet
