Whisper Lyrics

Stuart Davis Whisper

I heard a whisper
behind my eyes
it said "whoever sees me dies"

I heard a whisper
behind my throat
saying "no words now, only notes"

Chorus:
And I cannot know what
keeps whispering these darts
I am at the mercy
of the voice behind my heart

I heard a whisper
behind my will
saying "I pour into what is still"

I heard a whisper
behind my fear
saying "come here"

Chorus

Wounding me
with all these
little arrows

Somehow grace can take the deaf
and put an ear inside their chest

Chorus
