More Than a Whisper
Nanci Griffith
How I wDish that you would call
We have not spGoken since last fall
and that sCmoky conversGation's come and Dgone
DDo I just read between your lines
Or could it Gbe this winter wine
So sCweet upon my tGongue tonight
It recalls your tender eDyes
And I nGeed more than a whisper
So much mCore than a whisper
It takes Gmore than a whisper
To wAake this weary fDool
Oh give me mGore than a whisper
If you're sCaying I love you
Cuz it's the wGhispers that I've nAever understooDd
DAnd it's snowing up in the northlands
I read your Gwarm words from the plains
While the Cpoets say that GI should never
Be thinking of you this wDay
DThey say that I misread your lines
Because I've been lGonely all my life
And I'd be Creaching for some sGilver
And leave my heart out in the fDire
And I need mGore than a whisper
So much Cmore than a whisper
It takes Gmore than a whisper
To wAake this weary fDool
Oh give me mGore than a whisper
If you're sCaying I love you
Cuz it's the Gwhispers that IA've never understoDod
WDell I will drink my winter wine
When I get Ghome I'll change my mind
I'll only wChisper that I lGove you
In those smoky bars at nigDht
DAnd though the poets say I'm lonely
There's still this Gwoman here inside
And I've Cnever been a Gfool
When my heart was on the lDine
Cuz I need mGore than a whisper
So much Cmore than a whisper
It takes Gmore than a whisper
To wAake this weary fDool
Oh give me Gmore than a whisper
If you're sCaying I love you
Cuz it's the wGhispers that I've Anever understoDod

More Than a Whisper

Nanci Griffith

How I wish that you would call

We have not spoken since last fall

C G D

and that smoky conversation's come and gone

Do I just read between your lines

Or could it be this winter wine

C G

So sweet upon my tongue tonight

It recalls your tender eyes

And I need more than a whisper

So much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper

A D

To wake this weary fool

Oh give me more than a whisper

If you're saying I love you

G A D

Cuz 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

C G

While the poets say that I should never

Be thinking of you this way

They say that I misread your lines

Because I've been lonely all my life

C G

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

A D

To wake this weary fool

Oh give me more than a whisper

If you're saying I love you

G A D

Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood

Well I will drink my winter wine

When I get home I'll change my mind

C G

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

C G

And I've never been a fool

When my heart was on the line

Cuz I need more than a whisper

So much more than a whisper

It takes more than a whisper

A D

To wake this weary fool

Oh give me more than a whisper

If you're saying I love you

G A D

Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
