More Than a Whisper Lyrics

Oh, I wish that you would call

We have not spoken since last fall

And that smoky conversation's

Coming home

Do I just read between your lines?

Yeah, could be this winter wine

So sweet upon my tongue tonight

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 sayin', I love you

'Cause 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 thinkin' of you this way

And they say that I misread your lines

'Cause 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 sayin', I love you

'Cause 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

'Cause 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 sayin', I love you

'Cause it's the whispers

That I've never understood
