More Than a Whisper

作词 : Griffith, Nelson

How I wish that you would call... we have not spoken since last fall

now that smokey conversation's come and gone

Do I just read between your lines?

Or could it be this winter wine?... so sweet upon my tongue tonight

recalls your tender eyes

O, I need more than a whisper... so much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper to wake this weary fool

Give me more than a whisper... if you're sayin' I love you

'cuz it's the whispers I have never understood

It's snowin' up in the northlands... I read your warm words from the plains

while the poets say that I should never be thinkin' of you this way

They say that I misread your lines 'cuz I've been lonely all my life

and here I'm reachin' for some silver and leavin' my heart out in the fire

O, I need more than a whisper... so much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper to wake this weary fool

Give me more than a whisper... if you're sayin' I love you

'cuz it's the whispers I have never understood

I will drink my winter wine... when I get home I'll change my mind

I'll only whisper that I love you in those smokey bars at night

And though the poets say I'm lonely... there's still this woman here inside

and I've never been a fool when my heart was on the line

O, I need more than a whisper... so much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper to wake this weary fool

Give me more than a whisper... if you're sayin' I love you

'cuz it's the whispers I have never understood
