Unknown Sequence

Intro

Verse 1
Did you think I would never check the phone
Or notice when you left me all alone
I saw your circle out on Miller Street
They went dead quiet looking at their feet
I ate my dinner off a chipped blue plate
And worked a double shift until quite late
I never came to knock upon your door
Because I didn't want to fight no more

Verse 2
Bad news travels fast around a boring town
Where folks take pleasure bringing people down
You sat with half our friends inside your kitchen
And made sure anybody there would listen
You said some crazy ideas filled my head
I smiled and brushed off every word you said
I kept on making little wishes true
Without a single minute spent on you

Chorus
Are you still talking on the hill?
Yes, but my quiet world is still
Did all that whispering go by?
I never stop to wonder why

Instrumental Break

Verse 3
It has been five cold winters and a year
And all the creek water is running clear
The little house we rented left no trace
Of all the bitterness inside that place
Sometimes a stranger brings up your cold name
And all I feel is sorrow not a shame
I turn the latch on with a heavy key
You kept your talk while I was walking free

Chorus
Are you still talking on the hill?
Yes, but my quiet world is still
Did all that whispering go by?
I never stop to wonder why

Outro
Your whispers never make a sound
When no one cares to stay around
