Whispered His Name

She whispered his name instead of mine, As the lantern dimmed, as the stars aligned. Her breath was fire, her touch was frost, I felt her love, but I knew it was lost.

She whispered his name, with her final breath, Clung to a ghost, while I held her death. No prayer, no mercy, no one to blame, Only silence followed when she whispered his name.

I carried her out past the chapel gate, The preacher said, “Son, that’s a heavy fate.” But the wind already knew the sound, Of her last word sinking in the ground.

She whispered his name, with her final breath, Clung to a ghost, while I held her death. No prayer, no mercy, no one to blame, Only silence followed when she whispered his name.

I rode through the night, but the voice stayed near, Her whisper burned louder than I could hear.

She whispered his name, with her final breath, Clung to a ghost, while I held her death. No prayer, no mercy, no one to blame, Only silence followed when she whispered his name.
