Crystal Owl
This was inspired by the film Labyrinth starrng David Bowie as Jareth the Goblin King.
The acoustic version was recorded in July 2001, the remix was created by Otakudo from the acapella version.
This song is not currently available online and I don't seem to have any old copies of it. Perhaps I'll record it again one day.
It's highest MP3.com chart position was #57 in Folk for the acoustic version.
Lyrics
I saw an owl carved of glass
CH: He's caught in darkness underground
I saw an owl fly through night
I saw an owl dressed in snow
I saw an owl perched alone
One eye of sapphire, one of brass
He sat quite silent on the grass
And watched her pass
Frozen crystal all around
You played the game of lost and found
You walk away and you leave him bound
His eyes were cold, his grip was tight
He wanted so to touch the light
But it took to flight
His eyes said yes, his mouth said no
He'd only one card left to throw
Before she'd go
His eyes were sad, his heart was stone
He couldn't bring himself to mourn
What he'd never really known
Never known
