Whisper - Riverdogs

A man is walking close to tears

Live like a cripple for thirty-nice years

He says, «Lord I’m a poor man»

I work to feed five children

When the last days come

Will you let me in"

And when my spirit’s close to breaking

When the world won’t set me free

When my hands will not stop shaking

Will you Whisper?

A woman is weeping for the baby

she carries

This child, she swears, will be the

last one

She says, «Lord there must be a reason

you took away two husbands

I could use a little mercy

while I’m still young»

And when my spirit’s close to breaking

When the world won’t set me free

When my hands will not stop shaking

Will you Whisper?

You had to tear my heart out

That’s one thing

Something I can live without

I can live without

And when my spirit’s close to breaking

When the world won’t set me free

When my hands will not stop shaking

Whisper to me
