There’s a demon in the sidewalk
There’s an angel in my ear
The magnolia tree blossoms miraculously
In the middle of the driest year
Driest year
Driest year

My dreams are made of footsteps
Silently resound
Each step I take I simply cannot shake
The feeling I am losing ground
Losing ground
Losing ground

The demon is the reason I am calling out to you
The angel in my ear
The angel in my ear

The devastated fruit tree
The frustrated wife
The morning frost has a deeper cost
In the middle of a simple life
Simple life
Simple life

The demon is the reason I am calling out to you
The angel in my ear
The angel in my ear

There’s a demon in the window
‘Til I close my eyes
I see the soul through a buttonhole
Open to a light-filled sky
Light-filled sky
Changing sky

The angel in my ear
The angel in my ear
