In a Whisper

Alone at half past midnight
She calls his name
Afraid that in the morning
That nothing will change
And where, where are the things that we fought for?
And where, where is the love?
And where, where are the answers
You told us would come from up above?
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper
She says she'd like to tell you just where they met
She says she's tryin' but she can't remember yet
Sometimes when she's at home and she's all alone
She thinks she hears him call her on the telephone
And she says
"Where, where is the love that you promised?
And where, where have you gone?
I've search for you but when I get near
You leave me on my own"
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper
Some days she tries to find him but where should she look?
Should she look in the city or in a book?
And where, where are the things that we fought for?
And where, where is the love?
And where, where are the answers
You told us would come from up above?
This is how the world ends, this is how the world ends
This is how the world ends in a whisper
