lyrics

Whisper

i met a man who said he had nothing
he sat in a palace and wept bitter tears
yes i am king and yes i have riches
but i lost my way in the welter of years

once i was young and once i was eager
ready to fill up a scrapbook with deeds
i thought i saw what had the most luster
so i sallied forth on the swiftest of steeds

i hear a whisper in the grass
and there i go hurrah alas

i made a mark and i reached the summit
i took a wife who birthed a fine brood
now i look back and when was i living
when did awareness ever intrude

i hear a whisper in the grass
and there i go hurrah alas

now i look back and see the illusions
now is too late to set forth again
all i have left is this blessed sorrow
i am the saddest most lucky of men

i hear a whisper in the grass
and there i go hurrah alas 2X
