Lyrics
The Whisper
I guess you just got to stop sometimes
And take a look at the broader horizon
Blow your quarters and save your dimes
You are bound to pay the price
So maybe I’ll have porridge, maybe beans
I gotta take this road thats inside of me
The strangest story I ever did see
Took place down by the ocean
Some draws the portraits & some draws the rain
Its easy to get lost in the distance
The hardest line I ever did hear
Came barely as a whisper
Came barely as a whisper
I need a job and I need a burger
I just gotta make the change
The darkest sky I ever did see
Formed above the bluest ocean
So, I’ll have coffee and I’ll take tea
‘Cause all in all everythings just a part of me
The greatest gift I ever received
Came from the hardest bargain
Some draws the portraits & some draws the rain
Its easy to get lost in the distance
The hardest line I ever did hear
Came barely as a whisper
Came barely as a whisper
