Allen Toussaint - From A Whisper To A Scream lyrics

From a whisper in the wind to a loud scream The message came that I've lost you To the warmth of another man For heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me I've seen more tears fall from your eyes Than all the showers of April I took kindness for granted As if it came with the wallpaper So inconsiderate of how much you cared For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there But, oh my love, you've lost it Oh, my love, she's gone My love, you've lost it She's long gone For heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me I simply must have been crazy I must have been out of my mind To overlook the need in you How could I have been so blind Never giving thoughts to your wants and needs But now I'm begging, my baby, please, please, please But oh, my love, you've lost it Oh, my love, she's gone My love, you've lost it So inconsiderate of how much you cared For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there But oh, my love, you've lost it Oh, my love, she's gone My love, you've lost it She's long gone
