From a Whisper to a Scream Songtext
von Allen Toussaint

From a whisper in the wind to a loud scream
The message came that I′ve lost you
To the warmth of another man

For heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me

I′ve seen more tears fall from your eyes
Than all the showers of April
I took kindness for granted
As if it came with the wallpaper

So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there

But, oh my love, you've lost it
Oh, my love, she's gone
My love, you′ve lost it
She′s long gone


For heaven sakes, girl, don't do this to me

I simply must have been crazy
I must have been out of my mind
To overlook the need in you
How could I have been so blind

Never giving thoughts to your wants and needs
But now I′m begging, my baby, please, please, please

But oh, my love, you've lost it
Oh, my love, she′s gone
My love, you've lost it

So inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there


But oh, my love, you′ve lost it
Oh, my love, she's gone
My love, you've lost it
She′s long gone
