Going Into the Night

words & music by Steve Van Zandt

Going into the night, there’s magic in the night.

Singing out a song that’s clear,

The great horned owl is my nighttime pal,

With a song that you can hear,

And the owl you can hear…WHOOO, WHOOO…

Going into the night, there’s magic in the night,

Singing out a song that’s clear,

Down in the bogs there are lots of frogs,

With a song that you can hear…RIBBIT, RIBBIT,

And the owls you can hear…WHOOO, WHOOO…

Going into the night, there’s magic in the night,

Singing out a song that’s clear,

Out in the thickets there are lots of crickets,

With a song that you can hear…(rub hands together or snap),

And the frogs you can hear…RIBBIT, RIBBIT,

And the owls you can hear…WHOOO, WHOOO…

Going into the night, there’s magic in this night,

Singing out a song that’s clear,

The lonesome note of the lone coyote,

Is a song you can hear…A-A-AROO, A-A-AROO

And the crickets you can hear…(rub hands together or snap),

And the frogs you can hear…RIBBIT, RIBBIT,

And the owls you can hear…WHOOO, WHOOO…

Going into the night, there’s magic in the night,

Singing out a song that’s clear,

The silent wonder in the people’s hearts

Is a song that you can hear

And the silence you can hear……………………
