Pam Tillis: "A Whisper And A Scream" Lyrics

(Verlon Thompson/Austin Cunningham)

There's a tomcat in the alley scarin' up a fight

There's a mother softly kissing her little one goodnight

There's peace and then there's chaos, reality and dreams

We're all trying to strike a balance between a whisper and a scream

Sometimes I need atttention when you need left alone

Sometimes you feel like clinging when I feel like being gone

But love me soft and tender and we'll make the rafters ring

As long as we meet somewhere between a whisper and a scream

Well, I know you'll be listening

And you know I'll be there

Between a whisper and a scream we'll find a prayer

Well I used to blow up easy and put my fist right through a wall

You were shut down like a holiday not feeling much at all

But we met there at the crossroad goin' to extremes

Thank God we found each other between a whisper and a scream

Somehow we found each other between a whisper and a scream
