Heather Nova - Ear To The Ground

I've been wandering,
Waiting for something to give;
I won't be a heroine -
I'm just looking for something to live by.
And there are lesions in the soil
And there are pockets of pain where the shadows lie,
And there are voices in the ocean,
And there is something in the sky.
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground.
It's washing over me
It's spinning under me
And am I looking up at angels
Or am I really looking up at clouds passing by?
And when I say I'm listening
Why is it I only hear you when you cry?
A mother should say,
A father should say,
Look up, look down,
Keep your ear to the ground.
Keep your ear to the ground.
Keep your ear to the ground.
