More Than A Whisper

Oh, i wish that you would call
We have not spoken since last fall
That smoky conversation's coming home
Do i just read between your lines
Yeah it could be this winter wine
So sweet upon my tongue tonight
It recalls your tender eyes

And i need more than a whisper
So much more than a whisper
It takes more than a whisper
To wake this weary fool
Oh give me more than a whisper
If you're saying i love you
Cuz it's the whispers that i've never understood

And it's snowing up in the northlands
I read your warm words from the plains
While the poets say that i should never
Be thinking of you this way
They say that i misread your lines
Because i've been lonely all my life
And i'd be reaching for some silver
And leave my heart out in the fire

And i need more than a whisper
So much more than a whisper
It takes more than a whisper
To wake this weary fool
Oh give me more than a whisper
If you're saying i love you
Cuz it's the whispers that i've never understood

Well i will drink my winter wine
When i get home i'll change my life
I'll only whisper that i love you
In those smoky 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

Cuz i need more than a whisper
So much more than a whisper
It takes more than a whisper
To wake this weary fool
Oh give me more than a whisper
If you're saying i love you
Cuz it's the whispers that i've never understood
