Chris Staples - Bell Into My Ear lyrics

On nights like tonight When the stations come in clear Every note of every chord Like a bell into my ear And the peripheral sounds They do not mean a thing Go ahead and blur it out with a twist of the focus ring Our love was a song It went on and on and on Into the morning hour The sweetest grapes Became so sour But now we know what were made of The paint is all chipped away The wheels are falling off And they're towing it away I was a cold automatic beast Sometimes i was your lover Combat me as a foe Protect me as a mother It's not a ship coming to port A holiday parade A big band finale It was just a cool spot in the shade Our love was just a whisper Spoken softly in the night Picked up and floated on Unable to be made right
