Lyrics
Verse
The reeds bow low by the water's edge
A crane's cry fades into the haze
Lantern light trembles on the darkened lake
Chorus
Whispers
Whispers
They call my name
Through the mist
Through the rain
Whispers
Whispers
Soft as shame
Verse 2
A pipa hums like a lover's sigh
Stars fall silent
The heavens cry
Shadows dance where the willows lie
Prechorus
The moon bends close to hear my song
The night is brief but the ache is long
Chorus
Whispers
Whispers
They call my name
Through the mist
Through the rain
Whispers
Whispers
Soft as shame
Bridge
I search for echoes of an ancient voice
Each step I take
I lose my choice
Time unwinds like a thread in the wind
