Owl in the Barn - by Sam Baardman

There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right
There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right

There's a nest behind the counter at the store that I work
There's cocoons crusted over the hands of the clock
I hear scurrying behind me wherever I walk
And when I get to thinking sometimes I can't talk
Yeah when I get to thinking sometimes I can't talk

There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right
There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right

You've got a place in the closet, got a place in my heart
There's a place on the walls for your cheap poster art
You're a part of my habits, you're a part of my thoughts
But when we get together sometimes we can't talk
Yeah when we get together sometimes we can't talk

There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right
There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right

I know a family with a secret, know a town with a curse
I know a country that believes that things can only get worse
We think of killers in the darkness that’ll never get caught
And when we think of killing sometimes we can't talk
Yeah when we think of killing sometimes we can't talk

There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right
There's an owl in the barn, blinking in the moonlight
It's flown in through the window that I can never shut right
