Standard (EADGBE)

Whispering

 Here the ghosts in the moonlight

Sorrow doing a new dance

 Through their bone, through their skin

Listening

 To the souls in the fool's night

Fumbling mutely with their rude hands

 And there's heartache without end

 See the father bent in grief

 The mother dressed in mourning

 Sister crumbles, and the neighbors grumble

 The preacher issues warnings

History

Little miss didn't do right

Went and ruined all the true plans

Such a shame. Such a sin.

Mystery

Home alone on a school night

Harvest moon over the blue land

 Summer longing on the wind

 Had a sweetheart on his knees

 So faithful and adoring

 And he touched me. And I let him love me.

 So let that be my story

Listening

 For the hope, for the new life

Something beautiful, a new chance

 Hear its whispering

 There again
