When You Whispered - The Handsome Family

Up on the drawbridge when we stood in the wind

My car left running, the doors wide open

The wind spread ripples along the river waves

Your hands in my hair as the drawbridge swayed

You leaned in closer as the sun fell away

A plastic bag trembled, caught in the waves

When you whispered what you whispered in my ear

The breeze at the shoreline bent down the rushes

Sparrows cried out from the waving willows

And even the minnows in the muddy shallows

Even the frogs calling from the shadows

Even the wind leaned in to listen

When you leaned in closer, your hands in my hair

When you whispered what you whispered in my ear

When you whispered what you whispered in my ear
