Let The Night Fall Lyrics

I am the owl who stands alone
The lonesome wild I call my home
Just like the workman when his day is done
I cant wait for that sinking sun

Let the night fall
Let the night fall
Let the night fall
Let it fall on me
Let it fall on me

I am the owl who calls upon the night
I am the eyes that abandon the light
When no ones there and the dogs bark
Im the voice howling in the dark

Let the night fall
Let the night fall
Let the night fall
Let it fall on me
Let it fall on me

I am the owl, old and wise
The lord of wood with silent eyes
The cock screams at the first spark of dawn
Thats my cue and Ill be moving on and on

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
