The Ear Of The Night Lyrics - Sparks Of Ancient Light - Al Stewart

You put your tongue in the ear of the night 

Expecting rejection but finding instead 

A certain connection that left you surprised 

And then gave you electrical thoughts in your head 

Emboldened by this you were tempted a kiss 

On the brow of a mystery passing you by 

And thus we're afforded a simple reward 

In the shape of a chord from a street corner choir 

Through her window you can see her 

With her solitary air 

You felt a certain twinge inside you 

From her military hair 

And you'd have normally acted quite formally 

This was the moment to open the door 

You instantly mated and constantly dated 

Though your mother hated the clothes that she wore 

Oh well
