Lyrics
You left us in a whisper
You were gone before your life was done
I know I never met you, but I heard it like the fire from a gun
Your breath it was a whisper
In a tale of reality
I only heard a flutter, but it built up to a scream from within me
(chorus)
Oh whisper
Don't let us all forget and move along
'cause the world, it has a habit of flowing on and on
Your story was a whisper
Until you ceased to be that very day
Then the people came with voices oh so loud that I had to turn away
(chorus)
Oh whisper
Don't let this turn to anger and to fear
So much is being said, but I'm sure those aren't the words you want to hear
You left us with a whisper
I hope we listened closely on that day
'cause the stories twist within the wind and without love they simply fly away
