Maybe then I'd only smile,
cause everything would be brand new
Let me plagiarize your thoughts,
let me dance amongst your dreams
Don't you know there ain't no
echo if you whisper in the wind
In a whisper, in a whisper
Don't you know my love is grey,
and my heart is painted blue
Don't you know my songs are empty,
Yes, I know your voice is small,
and your footsteps are whispering
And I know I can't hear the thunder
If I cannot smell the rain
In a whisper, in a whisper
You'll see that I'm nearly dead
I'm exhausted from the feeling
Now my hands are made of rocks
And my frown is always thick
So if you throw the mud right at me
I just hope that it will stay
In a whisper, in a whisper
Now my shoes are worn and torn and
my clothes are drenched in wine
I've been reeling in a fish that's
too damn heavy on the line
And I'm holding up the sky with
any strength I might have left
The notes I hear singing don't appear
Oh -oh -oh -oh, oh -oh -oh -oh
