letra de whispers - lottie hartnack

there’s a woman walking silently by
with a high-collared trench coat and a low hat so you can’t see her eyes
cos under makeup there lies, the scars from the clients she worked for last night
but she won’t tell a soul cos no one can know the secrets she holds
cos her kids need the money as the street sides they sleep on are cold

pavement cracks whisper all the people’s secrets
from the wealthy’s last mistakes to the homeless’ obituaries
people walk by too lost in their minds, to look up and to listen to the secrets they hide
and the skyscr-per chuckles at the truth they now know
making jokes with the cracks about the people below
so stand back and see the world from the sky
and if you’re silent, and you listen, you’ll hear people’s thoughts flying by

hear people’s thoughts flying by

there’s a man, always at the same table
of the little old cafe, they say he ain’t stable
but still, at 2 on the dot, he’ll be ready and waitin for her in the same spot
they laugh behind his back, but to his face, not a sound
cos he’s different so they keep their eyes to the ground
but he’s waiting for the wife he lost in the previous year
cos his memory went walkabout and it dumps him here

the children, the only few who will listen
who’ll question and find out the secrets that are hidden
they see, all we choose to ignore
they will open up their minds and hearts and try to fix it all
but the adults won’t listen, say it’s all in their head
and no one is talking and nothing was said
and they must follow the adults, cos their actions are law
tune it out and don’t listen, others problems aren’t yours

hear people’s thoughts flying by
