Lyrics for Ears Of Tin by Tull Jethro:
| | | Artist: | Tull Jethro |
| | Album: | Rock Island | | Track: | Ears Of Tin | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | Lyrics: | In the late hours of a sunset rendezvous --
chill breeze against tide, that carries me from
you.
Got a job in a southern city -- got some lead-free in my tank.
Now I must whisper
goodbye -- I'm bound for the mainland.
Island in the city, Cut by a cold sea.
People
moving on an ocean. Groundswell of humanity.
Now the sum breaks through rain as I climb
Glen Shiel
on the trail of those old cattlemen who drove their bargain south again.
And in
the eyes of those five sisters of Kintail
there's a wink of seduction from the
mainland.
Island in the city. Cut by a cold sea.
People moving on an ocean.
Groundswell of humanity.
Storm-lashed on the high-rise -- their words are spray to the
wind.
Blown like silent laughter. Falling on ears of tin.
Take my heart and take my
brawn.
Take by stealth or take by storm --
set my brain to "cruise."
I can see the
glow of the suburb lights.
I'm fresh from the out-world --
singing the mainland
blues.
There was a girl where I came from.
Seems a long time, long time gone
by.
Wears the west wind in her hair.
She calls from the hill -- yeah, she calls
in my
mainland blues.
There's a coast road that winds to heaven's door
where a fat ferry
floats on muted diesel roar.
And there's a light on the hillside -- and there's a flame in
her
eyes but how cold the lights burn on the mainland.
Island in the city. Cut by a
cold sea.
People moving on an ocean. Groundswell of humanity.
Storm-lashed on the
high-rise. Their words are spray to the wind.
Blown like silent laughter and falling on ears of
tin.
