"Whisper" lyrics

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-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-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
Yet 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
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 they are 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

Whoa, 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 love (and I'll whisper mine)

(And I'll whisper mine)
(And I'll whisper mine)
