Hoot Owl - Rayland Baxter

All I ever wanted

Was a walk down the road

With you there holding my arm

But the hoot owl moans

For me all alone

Tell me pretty baby

Are you really gonna break my heart?

Has it all been a lie

No I can’t believe that

Tell me what I hear isn’t true

Is the owl in the oak tree

The only one here with me

Tell me pretty baby

Are you really gonna break my heart?

Is it death or livin

That scares me the most

Or is it just plain bein alone

Seems I’m always alone

When that hoot owl moans

Tell me pretty baby

Are you really gonna break my heart?

Don’t call me, don’t write me

And I’ll leave you alone

So we can forget what we had

The owl can console me

With his midnight tune

BUt I don’t think I’ve ever

Felt so sad

So I draw all the curtains

And I lock all the doors

And I dream of that walk

Down the road

But the hoot owl awakes me

And a cold shiver shakes me

Tell me pretty baby

Are you really gonna break my heart?
