Ari Herstand - Itch Inside Your Ear lyrics

rate me

In the town of the street

where I keep a parking place for me to sleep

I wake up look around

Something’s changed and something’s frayed the city sound

Walk outside watch the trees

and their whispering a message to me

They say “follow the sound of peace

Return to the road where you used to sleep

In seconds that last for many years

sounds will fade to an itch inside your ear”

As I climb to the top

of my telling tree I see the city stop

I call out I need some help

I am stuck in a tree and nobody can hear me yell

I give up, sink back down

to my branch and I block out the city sound

Singing “follow the sound of peace

Return to the road where you used to sleep

In seconds that turn to many years

sounds will fade to an itch inside your ear”

And a leaf has fallen down

It’s blowing all over town

It’s looking for a home to feel comfortably sound

But the buses and the cabs blow the leaf into the crowd it loses coloring

Afraid and decayed the leaf rests in dismay

only to be joined by a million more the same

getting raked up in the crowd

Then I hear an angel sing

She is singing a faint sweet melody

I tune her in tune my thoughts out

She is far from where I stand but still I shout

“Come to me set me free

I am stuck in a tree and my city’s turned on me"

She sings “follow the sound of peace

return to the road where you used to sleep

In seconds that turn to many years

Your city sound was that itch inside your ear”

Inside my ear

My city sound was that itch inside my ear
