Lyrics

Autumn night
Hold your breath
Pull your sweater closer
Listen carefully

You went out
For a bit of air
But now stop and shiver
Listen carefully

Two houses down
Beyond the walls and insulation
There is a tiny sound
A voice singing alone

a bit off key
a song you don’t recognize
not loud enough to hear properly
it strikes you as odd

It strikes you oddly

Peeping tom
Shouldn’t be here
A bit embarrassed
No reason to be

Harmonies
through the trees
Background vox to the tick of the clocks
It strikes you
It strikes you…oddly
