Ear to the Ground

[Verse]
She said my powers of expression
Could stand to improve
I said, put your ear to my lips
And I’ll see if I can get ‘em to move

[Refrain]
But the sound that came out
Just like snowflakes hittin’ the ground
Makin’ a sound, not makin’ a sound
Not makin’ a sound, makin’ a sound

Makin’ a sound, not makin’ a sound
Not makin’ a sound

[Verse]
Put a flap on the backdoor
And I won’t have to ring
Put my supper on the dish
And I won’t have to sing

[Refrain]
And instead I had a way
To nighttime come around
We’ll be making a sound, not makin’ a sound
Not makin’ a sound, makin’ a sound

Makin’ a sound, not makin’ a sound
Not makin’ a sound

[Bridge]
Better seen than heard
Well, is that just a lie?
Made sense at the time, but what do I know?
Baby, I’ll ask tonight

[Verse]
Take an axe in the forest
Around the break of day
And when I get out of еarshot
I’m gonna start choppin’ away

[Refrain]
Knowledge is like thе branches
When they all come crashing down
Makin’ a sound, not makin’ a sound
Not makin’ a sound, makin’ a sound

Makin’ a sound, not makin’ a sound
Not makin’ a sound

Keep your ear to the ground
