Alan Anton - Nose Before Ear Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna start this song in a dark low whisper
Out of respect for the story that it tells
It all begins with a prick of a finger
A man and his fear
The nose before ear

[Verse 2]
So many ways to love him
So little time to choose among 'em
I'll stick with the ones whose hearts are torn
Broken
That's why the blues were born

[Verse 3]
A man and his life and his race to the finish
And the moments infused with dread
All in the service of tryin' to diminish
Disappointments that lay in ambush
Upon the path ahead

[Verse 4]
I'm not tryin' to stitch his heart to that sleeve
He's simply a case of mutual need
A grief more dense than hearts can bear
That's the way it goes
With nose before ear
[Bridge]
This is the story of the land-locked sailor
Who cried himself to sea
This is the tale of the sleeping princess
Who found her way back to me

[Verse 5]
What we love will kill us
That which won't don't thrill us
I'm gonna tell you a story about the ones that I love
And a life lived
Nose before ear
