Rod Thomas - Careful Whisper lyrics

[Verse 1] I love you to the end of days, but I can't show What it is I'm feeling cos you don't know How to turn your heart inside out How to turn the sides of your mouth How to turn back up what fell down How to show you want me around [Chorus 1] So I learn to hold my breath - How to take a no when I wanted yes And I learn how to survive - Not to close my heart, just to close my eyes And I learn how to be quiet - When to use my voice, when to hide it When to shout for love and when to resist her When to keep my dreams to a careful whisper [Verse 2] I love you to the end of time for all your apologies But time flows like a river, and history repeats And I turn myself inside out Just to keep my world turning round And I burn most all of me down Till the words fall short in my mouth [Chorus 3] So I learn to hold my breath - How to take a no when I wanted yes And I learn how to survive - Not to close my heart, just to close my eyes And I learn how to be quiet - When to use my voice, when to hide it When to shout for love and when to resist her When to keep my dreams to a careful whisper Ohhhh Time flows like a river and history repeats Oh, wherever it is you're sailing to it's far away from me [Chorus 3] So I learn to hold my breath - How to take a no when I wanted yes And I learn how to survive - Not to close my heart, just to close my eyes And I learn how to be quiet - When to use my voice, when to hide it When to shout for love and when to resist her When to keep my dreams to a careful whisper
