Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album sleeping with the past Look at me twice with wildcat eyes Promise me everything except a blue night Shudder like ice in cut crystal glass Melt in embraces of crazy eyed past And whisper, whisper, whispering whispers Tantamount to a lie with lingering breath Walking fingers run, hungry scratches left Dull chimes ringing like an empty voice A distant smile framed, her lips are soft and moist With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers And whisper in a rhythm your lies Keep comfort for others Hurt me with the night Whisper like cold winds close to the bone Save heaven for lovers, leave me alone With your whispers, whispers, whispering whispers With whispers, whispers, whispering whispers
