The Ear Of The Night - 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
