lyrics

She knew the owls just by their voices
They knew her footsteps thru the woods
Each had a sound that was familiar
Each always felt misunderstood
Owls see the best inside the darkness
She too possessed that sense of sight
The other instinct shared in common
When they were startled both took flight
At night she’d walk the back roads
The season thru the year
We never had much conversation
Those owls won’t let you near
A silent grace and beauty
Like raptors poised to fly
It takes your breath away in wonder
And then they soar across the sky
There was a sister so they tell me
She never felt the need to please
Another roadside country walker
She saw the forest for the trees
The locals like to trade some gossip
Come to the fence to bend an ear
The second sister was a favorite
They found her manner to be queer
I’ve learned to walk the backroads
Not care what others say
I get inspired by those two sisters
The kind of freedom they portray
She knew the owls just by their voices
They knew her footsteps thru the wood
Each had a sound that was familiar
They always felt misunderstood
They always felt misunderstood
They always felt misunderstood
