Lyrics

Whispering in the Moonlight
Drew James © 2011

Eyes of a thief
Heart of a stranger
Poison poured into a wise guy's wine
After the deal he collapsed at the wheel
Winner take all and a car to steal

Bagged and gagged
Trembling in silence
Royal flush still in his hand
A carnival punk and a waterfront drunk
Stole the gambler's car and locked him in the trunk

They were whispering in the moonlight
In their sad romantic dance
He came along with a sawed off shotgun
And she just came along for the laughs

Shadowed fields
Split by the highway
Headlights burning through the cold dark night
Lowjack trace turned a license plate
Radar gun and a high speed chase

(Chorus)

Blood on the keys
Hollow tomorrows
Flowers of innocence burning bright
Together they died like Bonnie and Clyde
And the coroner ruled it as a suicide

(ChorusX2)
