lyrics

A hungry little man finds his way across the land, searching for a clue, a sign to lead him on to something else.
He walks further everyday, kicks a can along the way.
The daylight sets him free, but when he closes his eyes he sees inside himself.

Beyond the evenings aftermath did satisfaction walk the path before him?
But like the owl of the night, will he fly until the light of the morning?

Always concealing his presence by leaving no footprints in the sand.
And all he can hear is his heartbeat - it's in the right place, though several hours late after all.
Always behind, always checking the time on his reliably virtuous wristwatch - it repeatedly tells him the same thing "if you snooze then you loose, exhausted and bruised evermore".

But will the sunrise find its way over the path that has been laid before him?
Like the owl of the night, he will fly until the light of the morning.

Untouched by the world, and naturally released, an apple falls down from a tree.
Only to bounce off the grass, into the hands of the cold and empty sea.
Does fate present you with these opportunities which you then have to chase yourself?
Or is the downfall part of the plan, part of the hope that your own temptation sells?

It doesn't matter 'cause he can't catch anyway.
It doesn't matter 'cause he can't catch anyway.

Beyond the evenings aftermath did satisfaction walk the path before him?
But like the owl of the night, will he fly until the light of the morning?
