Whisper Out Your Name

We headed way out east Carolina We didn't make much progress in the rain Through all the wild breezes Whinos bums & sleazes I could see behind those eyes that you didn't care

Well I put my trust inside your weathered suitcase And it's tucked behind the corner of the stairs From the presence of December To a time I can't remember We swore our hearts forever to be true

But love somtimes distorts the distant future And what was then can never be here now I could see you in your backyard Like a faded picture postcard And sometimes at night I whisper out your name

Well your mother told you that we'd never make it And although I hate to say it well she was right I remember she'd be screaming While your big brown eyes were beaming And I'd be running out the kitchen door

Well the other day I looked for that old churchyard But ???? these new strip Malls keep on growing The church has long been smashed I guess God & progress clashed And there's barbed wire round the field where we first kissed

But love somtimes distorts the distant future And what was then can never be here now I could see you in your backyard Like a faded picture postcard And sometimes at night I whisper out your name

Sometimes at night I whisper out your name Sometimes at night I whisper out your name
