Count up the people you know
and the people you've known
measure the height you are
and the inches that you've grown
the boy you were
and the man you are
the cuts that heal
and the ones that scar
and go whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind

Take a brand new axe
count the rings on the trees
stick your nose in the air
or get down on your knees
scream from the mountain
then watch out below
when everybody wonders
just where the voices go
then whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind

If you cut me down to size
and turn me inside out
my heart will fall on the floor
and leave little doubt
that the fears that hold me down
may soon come true
when the things that scare me
start to scare you

Count up the tears you've shed
from being done wrong
and try to drown yourself
inside a Nick Drake song
pink moon's hanging
from a northern sky
running out of people
to ask why
so go whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind

If you cut me down to size
and turn me inside out
my heart will fall on the floor
and leave little doubt
that the fears that hold me down
may soon come true
when the things that scare me
start to scare you

Count up the people you know
and the people you've known
measure the height you are
and the inches that you've grown
the boy you were
and the man you are
the cuts that heal
and the ones that scar
and go whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
whisper in the wind
