Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Whisper My Name

Travel with me if you choose

Into a land of notions

Through the ruins of yesteryear

Set yer mind in motion

Be beside me win or lose

I will no forsake thee

I must do, so must you

Now will you go with me

I will build a home for you

To keep you warm each winter

Lemon lilies at your door

To give you in September

I will take you as you stand

I promise to defend thee

I must do, so must you

Now will you go with me

Whisper my name as you pass through my life

Whisper my name when you fall

I'm just a dusty old mem'ry ya trust

I'll be close by when you call

Give and take ain't always so

Seeing is believing

Down and out don't stop the show

Staying is not leaving

What we say ain't always so

But I won't deceive thee

I must do, so must you

Now will you go with me

Talk to me, run to me, whisper my name

Don't waste your love makin' friends

We've both had enough of that wonderful stuff

It's too easy to sin

Travel with me if you choose

Into a land of notions

Through the ruins of yesteryear

Set yer mind in motion

Be beside me win or lose

I will no forsake thee

I must do, so must you

Now will you go with me

Travel with me if you choose

I promise to protect thee

I must do, so must you

Now will you go with me

Now will you go with me
