Whistles In My Ears Lyrics - John Hiatt

Stumblin' down the road I gets to thinkin' as I leave her 

I've left so many times before 

That old North wind's a-blowin' circles round my feet 

What is this sorrow ever for? 

She was an angel who flies high in the heavens 

I was a pigeon on the church 

She breathed pure golden as she hid from the procession 

I tumbled from my lowly perch 

I guess whistles in my ears 

'Cause I can't hear you when you're cryin' 

I don't long to be anywhere at all 

I don't care to live a lie

There is a secret in the middle of the sea 

When you acquire a vicious thirst 

Then love will cool your brow and soothe the apparition 

But is it just another curse? 

Oh baby Jesus, mother Mary, God the father 

The big triangle needs repairs 

I know we learn within the vision of our spirit 

Do you prefer us cold and bare? 

I guess whistles in my ears 

'Cause I can't hear you when you're cryin' 

I don't long to be anywhere at all 

I don't care to live a lie
