Whisper my name
When you don’t want to be heard
By the table one more over
When my name’s the only word
You can think of, lover.

Speak my name aloud
When you need my answer on the phone
When you’re no longer afraid
When you don’t want to be alone.
After all it’s only a name.

Cry my name
Long after you watch the train
Fade away
Long after the affair is over
And I’ll no more call you lover.

You can think my name
Any time
Like I think your name
And wonder if you so the same
If you often think of mine.
