Al Stewart

You put your tongue in the ear of the night
expecting rejection but finding instead
a sudden connection that left you surprised
and gave you electrical thoughts in your head

Emboldened by this you attempted a kiss
on the brow of a mystery ing you by
and thus were afforded a simple reward
in the shape of a chord from a street corner choir

Through her window you could see her
with her solitary air
you felt a sudden twinge inside you
from her military hair

And though you’d have normally acted quite formally
this was a moment to open a door
you instantly mated and constantly dated
though your mother hated the clothes that she wore
