Lyrics
VERSE 1
The walk has been long
I have pulled my weight
now sirens call my name
time to call it a day
swan's about to sing
neck's already down
where's my queue number
it's the end of the line
CHORUS
I hear the whisper
pulling me under
Soft as a secret
strikin' like thunder
returning to sender
that inevitable aisle
I'm here, I'm comin'
I hear the whisper
VERSE 2
The mill has slowed down
rivers run dry
the sun goes to rest
last glass of wine
gonna go feelin' fine
whispers fadin' out
oh they're back again
time to say when
CHORUS
I hear the whisper
pulling me under
Soft as a secret
strikin' like thunder
returning to sender
that inevitable aisle
I'm here, I'm comin'
I hear the whisper
I'm here, I'm comin'
I hear the whisper
