Em                G 
I was walking a narrow road 
C            G       D 
Moon hanging low and white 
                C            G 
My shadow dragging questions 
            C               D 
Through the wires of the night 

Em                G 
An owl on a leaning branch 
C           G     D 
Still as a buried thought 
           C            G 
He said my name like a memory 
   D              G 
I didnt know Id lost 
 

 
C               G 
Listen to the owl 
D               Em 
Listen close, listen slow 
C                       G 
He knows whats been buried 
C                       D 
And what still wants to grow 

C               G 
Listen to the owl, 
D               Em 
In the cold, in the blue, 
C                       G 
He sings what the world was 
D                       G 
And what its walking to. 
 

 
Em                   G 
He said Ive seen the fire rise 
C                   G   D 
I have seen it turn to stone 
           C            G 
Promises fall to the ground 
   C                D 
Before they learn a tone 

Em             G 
Crowns sink into the river 
C           G       D 
Maps never lead you home 
         C        G 
History hums in circles 
   D              G 
Singing flesh and bone 
 

 
C               G 
Listen to the owl, 
D               Em 
When the road turns thin, 
C                       G 
He knows what is ending 
C                       D 
Whats about to begin 

C               G 
Listen to the owl 
D               Em 
When the road feels slow 
C                       G 
He knows what youre losing 
D                       G 
And why you dont let go 
 

 
C               G 
Listen to the owl 
D               Em 
When the road feels slow 
C                       G 
He knows what youre losing 
C                       D 
And why you dont let go 



C               G 
Listen to the owl 
D               Em 
Listen close, listen slow 
C                       G

C                       D 
And what still wants to grow 

C               G
