When You Whispered

Up on the drawbridge when we stood in the wind
My car left running, the doors wide open
The wind spread ripples along the river waves
Your hands in my hair as the drawbridge swayed

You leaned in closer as the sun fell away
A plastic bag trembled, caught in the waves
When you whispered what you whispered in my ear

The breeze at the shoreline bent down the rushes
Sparrows cried out from the waving willows
And even the minnows in the muddy shallows
Even the frogs calling from the shadows

Even the wind leaned in to listen
When you leaned in closer, your hands in my hair
When you whispered what you whispered in my ear
When you whispered what you whispered in my ear
