Whispering

Whispering Hear the ghosts in the moonlight Sorrow doing a new dance Through their bones, through their skin Listening To the souls in the fools night Fumbling mutely with their rude hands And there?s heartache without end See the father bent in grief The mother dressed in mourning Sister crumples and the neighbors grumble Preacher issues warnings History Little miss didn?t do right Went and ruined all the true plans Such a shame, such a sin Mystery Home alone on a school night Harvest moon over the blue land Summer night on the wind Had a sweetheart on his knees So faithful and adoring And he touched me and I let him love me So let that be my story Listening For the hope, for the new life Something beautiful, a new chance Hear it?s whispering there again
