Lyrics
Ear Of The Night
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You put your tongue in the ear of the night
Expecting rejection but finding instead
A sudden connection that left you surprised
And gave you electrical thoughts in your head
Emboldened by this you attempted a kiss
On the brow of a mystery passing you by
And thus were afforded a simple reward
In the shape of a chord from a street corner choir
Through her window you could see her
With her solitary air
You felt a sudden twinge inside you
From her military hair
And though you’d have normally acted quite formally
This was a moment to open a door
You instantly mated and constantly dated
Though your mother hated the clothes that she wore
- Oh well
