Bruce Cockburn Bone In My Ear Lyrics

Bone In My Ear Lyrics

There's a bone in my ear 

Keeps singing your name 

Sometimes it's
like pleasure 

Sometimes it's like pain 

It's a small voice and
quiet 

But I hear it plain 

There's a bone in my ear 

Keeps
singing your name 



In my heart there's a an image 

Like
looking through glass 

Could be looking at me 

Could be looking
right past 

I don't like it when 

I can't tell which is true 

But I wouldn't trade the world 

For that picture of you 



Moon in the water 

Cold light in the streets 

Warmth in your
fingers 

Sweat in your sheets 

Laid out like an offering 

Where two currents meet 

The river is dark 

But the water is
sweet 



Wailing on the mountain 

Smoke on the wind 

Can't drown out the whisper 

Or the scent of your skin 

Don't
know where it came from 

But I know where it came 

There's a bone
in my ear 

Keeps singing your name
