I know it will taste good in the end

Whispers carry in the evening

And they are humming in my ears

And upon my tongue

Giggle and a smile

I ponder where this gossip will get me

Flick of my tongue against my teeth

I know it will taste good in the end

Flex these fingers, perk up these ears

I will listen, listen, listen

Gathering up these whispers

Pluck them from the air

Collect them in my back pocket

Fold them neatly to preserve the tales

For this evening the whispers are thick

And my stomach is rumbling for attention

Tingling at the back of the neck

Nibble at my fingertips

I know it will taste good in the end

Secrets are sweetest in the dawn

Scandal thick before dusk

And either way I will be smiling

Sometimes the predators are the quietest

And the prey the cockiest

So I will sit back this evening

And I will listen, listen, listen

I know it will taste good in the end
