Whisper

Come in, sit down sweet angel
Leave me all your tears
Tell me all of your troubles
The weight of your short years

Love is only a river
Drowning all of your cheer
Sell me all of your laughter
And I will take some of your fear

Whoa, whoa
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

His favorite days were the mornings
She came with confessions of cardinal sin
A beast in the business of selling forgiveness
Dead eyes on a treacherous grin
And he laps up the vice like a wolf in the night
He's the left hand of God on the stage
And with one hand he offers salvation to lovers
The other, it taketh away

So give me your fire
Give me your fear
Give me your faith when love gives you tears
And give me your heart
Give me your fate
Give me your hand when love gives you hate

Give me your prayers up on your feet
And I'll give you a show
It helps fill the seats
So give me your sins
Give me your lies
But whisper your love
And I'll whisper mine

His favorite line was the one formed outside
When they trade in confessions for lies
A beast in the business of selling forgiveness
And buying salvation with wine
And he cries out to God: How can you claim them all
When I know that all mine?

So give me your fire
Give me your fear
Give me your faith when love gives you tears
Give me your heart
Give me your fate
Give me your hand when love gives you hate

Give me your prayers up on your feet
And I'll give you a show
It helps fill the seats
So give me your sins
Give me your lies
But whisper your love
And I'll whisper mine

Who-o-oa

Give me your fire
Give me your fear
Give me your faith when love gives you tears
Give me your heart
Give me your fate
Give me your hand when love gives you hate

Give me your prayers up on your feet
Give you a show
It helps fill the seats
Give me your sins
Give me your lies
But whisper your love
Whoa, oh-oh
And I'll whisper mine

Come in, sit down sweet angel
And I will take some of your fear

So give me your fire
Give me your fear
Give me your faith when love gives you tears
Give me your heart
Give me your fate
Give me your hand when love gives you hate

Give me your prayers up on your feet
And I'll give you a show
It helps fill the seats
So give me your sins
Give me your lies
But whisper your lo-o-o-ove
(And I'll whisper mine)
