Letra da Música Whispering de The Majestic Twelve

Sometimes you can hear it like a rhythm through the crickets
And the hum of the cars as they motor towards the beach
Hovering on the water like a ripple of the moon
On an eight foot tide, and the lights of the Lumina
Shine from the screen that they stuck up in the water
Children stare at movie stars who float above the sea
Tobacco barn smoke and a scary walk home
Spanish moss blowing like bodies in the trees
All the folks who loved this dirt still stay
In the breeze and in the shadows, they live here
They never go away
And my Grandma's dad is out there
Where the road turns into drawbridge
Swinging his old lantern every time that there's a storm
And that woman that he widowed
That's my Mamaw all around us
Making sure her babies are all proud, and strong, and warm
And their pictures, they're not faded
They're hung up and they're framed
Staring down at children who are proud to wear their names
And one day I will stand beside them whispering
Whispering, whispering to you my love
I grew up with the stories of the storms
Rain in the house and an angry sea
But they were country proud, country tough
And Hazel only made it halfway up the bluff
When the Depression hit they held on and fought
They worked when they could and ate what they caught
So this little piece of rundown land
Is where I sleep, and pray, and stand
All the ghosts, the marsh, the storms, and me
We sleep in the azaleas
We rise above and breathe
And my Grandma's dad is out there
Where the road turns into drawbridge
Swinging his old lantern every time that there's a storm
And that woman that he widowed
That's my Mamaw all around us
Making sure her babies are all proud, and strong, and warm
And their pictures, they're not faded
They're hung up and they're framed
Staring down at children who are proud to wear their names
And one day I will stand beside them whispering
Whispering, whispering to you my love
One day I will stand beside them whispering
Whispering, whispering to you my love
My family's whispering
Richard and Jack, Austin and Joyce
Snookie, Doris Ellen, all in one voice
Mama and Dad, Jolyon and Bud
Singing all night beside the Summer Rest mud
Colin and Rachael, Amanda and Jay
Firework nights and hide and seek days
Mamac and Mamaw cooking in the kitchen
All of us cousins crabbing and fishing
