Echoes of Whispers

A sentimental song; a memory
Wingfield family, now just of three
Missouri, 1937, Great Depression
Loving Tom just wanted to be free
To leave, transform his life
Job in the Merchant Marines
To escape, further than the movies
Just like Tennessee

Echoes of whispers
Was all that could be heard
Normal abnormal family
Fractured pathways, all was blurred

Her silence speaks a thousand words
She's unsure what she wants to be
Laura's fragile; isolated
Stuck in a world of glass figurines
If she leaves, she'll be alone
So shy, dropped out of school
Despite her parents' intentions
She expected no Gentleman calls

Echoes of whispers
Was all that could be heard
Normal abnormal family
Fractured pathways, all was blurred
All loved, but longing for escape
All loved, but in need of space
Oooh, oooh
Longing for escape
In need of space
Oooh, oooh

Amanda wants the best for her loved ones
But she is stuck in the past
Once a Southern Belle, abandoned by husband
Preparing to let go of their hands at last
Wish upon a star
Fortune and happiness
It's hard to see the reality
Devotion and kindness

Echoes of whispers
Was all that could be heard
Normal abnormal family
Fractured pathways, all was blurred
All loved, but longing for escape
All loved, but in need of space
Echoes of whispers
Was all that could be heard
Normal abnormal family
Fractured pathways, all was blurred
All loved, but longing for escape
All loved, but in need of space
All loved, but longing for escape
All loved, but in need of space
