More Than A Whisper - Nanci Griffith

How I wish that you would call… we have not spoken since last fall

Now that smokey conversation’s come and gone

Do I just read between your line?

Or could it be this winter wine… so sweet upon my tongue tonight

Recalls your tender eyes

O, I need more than a whisper… so much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper to wake this weary fool

Give me more than a whisper… if you’re sayin’I love you

'cuz it’s the whispers I have never understood

It’s snowin’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

They say that I misread your lines 'cuz I’ve been lonely all my life

And here I’m reachin’for some silver and leavin’my heart out in the fire

I will drink my winter wine… when I get home I’ll change my mind

I’ll only whisper that I love you in those smokey 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
