WHAT WE WHISPER
1. YOU KNEW IT WELL
There were kisses
They rang like bells
You knew it well
On those nights
When sleep would not come
You knew it well
You knew it well
See those tears
Running down her face
You knew it well
And lover
When you did moan
You knew it well
You knew it well
When the Devil
Did guide your hand
You knew it well
When she
Did whisper my name
You knew it well
You knew it well
2. FALL IN LOVE WRONG
A broken white line
Hell of a ride
Your eyes are shining
Hell of a ride
I'm so lost
Breathing your breath
In stars
I sure did
Fall in love
Wrong
We go slower and softer
Hell of a ride
Yeah, the highway it murmurs
Hell of a ride
You're so clear
My queen unaware
In stars
I sure did
Fall in love
Wrong
3. THE PILLS
Tell me why sparks fly from your eyes so softly
Tell me why you carry your tears like a melody
It's murder and it's plain to see the underworld
It's murder and it's plain to see all over you
Tell me why your kindest words are just shy of lies
Tell me why desire makes you apologize
It's murder and it's plain to see the underworld
It's murder and it's plain to see all over you
Tell me why you dance upon these twilight days
Tell me why upon your breath these whispers lay
It's murder and it's plain to see the underworld
It's murder and it's plain to see all over you
4. JUST LIKE MOTHS
Let's take a walk
Let's take a long walk
I do not know where
Lord, I don't care
I'm restless
Hold my hand and
I'll hold your sweet hand
For the world is dark
It just slurs apart
So reckless
I would take my own eye
But I've got to see
Where we're going
And the words on your lips
Can you keep them until
The morning?
Need to make love right now
Need to make love to you
In the blue and the hum
Until the angels come
To our rescue
And I'll hold my breath
I'll hold my last breath
Until you turn to sunlight
I wonder if I'm that bright
For you
I would take my own eye
But I've got to see
Where we're going
And the words on my lips
I can keep them until
The morning

6. IN THE STARS' WHIRLING
Bright white flowers
Bloom in your hair while you sleep
Until you shine just like a ghost
And smile while I weep
In the stars' whirling
A blue satin dress
You wore to your Devil's dance
And let that boy tear it off
And kiss you so hard with his hands
In the stars' whirling
What is love and where are you taking me?
What is love and where are you taking me tonight?
Forgive what we both must do
To carry us to those further shores
And let the sparks dance upon our lips
For soon they will dance no more
Through the stars' whirling
What is love and where are you taking me?
What is love and where are you taking me?
What is love and where are you taking me tonight?
7. I CRY YOU ALL THE TIME
A dream
You have it all the time
A touch
Just a slip of the line
Do I sleep
Right between your hands?
When you whisper
Can I understand?
Is it me?
I'm walking all the time
As I cry
I cry you all the time
Can you see
How I'm walking down your line?
In a dream
Where I try so hard to find
You
You talk
But only in your sleep
Your secrets
Are they so damn hard to keep?
You tremble
I see it all the time
Does it hurt you?
For I see it in your eyes
Is it me?
I'm walking all the time
As I cry
I cry you all the time
Can you see
How I'm walking down your line?
In a dream
Where I try so hard to find
You
8. KNOW MY NAME
I remember the table
The candles were electric red
21 shot glasses fell
On the night we were wed
Did you know my name?
Your kiss was a whisper
So tender and desperate
Always looking over your shoulder
On the night we were wed
Did you know my name?
We divided the shadows
And as the poison spread
I was dreaming in an ambulance
On the night we were wed
Did you know my name?
9. SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES
Thank God our words mean nothing
And our thoughts are only smoke tonight
Seems we're barely here
Sometimes, sometimes
I'm walking slow in the cold morning
Breathing, but not deeply so... it's alright
Just like wind on water
Sometimes, sometimes
I'll leave no mark on this paper dream
I don't dare touch this picture tonight
There's no need to cry
Sometimes, sometimes
I saw this dawn in a prayer
And what you did in a whisper, it's alright
I know your secrets
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
10. ANGELS, TAKE ME
I went to hell for you
Lived in the west for you
Burned-out my head for you
I spread my wings for you
Angels, take me
I could not see the truth
I could not taste the truth
I could not hear the truth
I could not touch the truth
But I spread my wings
Angels, take me
