From A Whisper To A Scream - 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
