Nose Before Ear |
I’m gonna start this song on a dark low |
Out of respect for the story that it tells |
It all begins with the prick of a finger |
A man and his fear, with nose before ear |
So many ways to love him |
So little time to choose among them |
I’ll stick with the ones whose hearts are torn |
Broken, that’s why the blues were born |
A man and his life and his race to the finish |
And the moments infused with dread |
All in the service of tryin' to diminish |
Disappointments that lay in ambush |
Upon the path ahead |
I’m not tryin' to stitch this heart to that sleeve |
It’s simply a case of mutual need |
A grief more dance than hearts can bear |
That’s the way it goes, with nose before ear |
This is the story of the land-locked sailor |
Who cried himself to sea |
This is the tale of the sleeping princess |
Who found her way back to me |
What we love will kill us |
That which won’t don’t thrill us |
I’m gonna tell you a story about the ones that I love |
And a life lived, nose before ear |
