Whispers

On Sleeping With The Past. Like the entire album, it served as a tribute to favorite rock-soul artists, in this case Jackie Wilson and his 1966 hit "Whispers (Getting Louder)."

Lyrics:
Look at me twice with wildcat eyes Promise me everything except a blue night Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass Melt in embraces of crazy eyed past And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers

Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath Walking fingers run, hungry scratches left Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice A distant smile framed, her lips are soft and moist With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers

And whisper in a rhythm your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds close to the bone Save heaven for lovers, leave me alone With your whispers, whispers, whispering whispers

With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
