Riddle in Your Ear

November 25th, 2008 by Jonah

Hey everyone,

So I’ve got another great new song to show you all.  My friend Isaac Holeman wrote the text and is singing on this song, and I wrote the chords and am playing the guitar parts in the recording.  It is the first collaborative effort between Isaac and I, and I hope it will not be the last.

Have fun listening.  Lyrics below:

A couple three weeks ago the leaves turned the color of your hair
I threw handfuls in the wind and I laughed out a riddle in your ear
When you winked at my empathy I placed a white feather on you
When my sight parts the shadows of a darkening forest you’re smiling too.

Over hedgerows and hobbits our talk mirrored our wandering feet
Though the mud was not frozen we glided on over the lea
That November your smile was so meek and wily I chuckled right outta my skin
At the end of the day I could say that I’d do it again.
