lyrics

“Wind and Whispers”
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Chloe tells me that she must go,
leaving all her people and she don’t know
where she will go or even what she figures she’ll do.

She just says she needs to leave this place,
roam the world a bit to find a better space
for her to grow and find out who she’s meant to be.

She won’t say it.
She won’t tell you now.
She won’t go there.
She won’t tell you how…
…and then she sings it….

Lonnie…. Lonnie….
the wind is calling and I can’t refuse its call.
Lonnie…. Lonnie….
Can’t you hear the wind and whispers at all?

Wind and whispers, I don’t know why
Chloe always listens to the midnight sky,
and she goes walking out where no one else will go.

Frogs are singing and owls glide,
dragonflies are feasting while the whitetails hide,
and the river flows—and, flowing, it knows.

Sometimes midnights she greets the moon,
her nightgown feels like mothwings in the murmuring June,
and she goes wandering while the wind blows through trees.

She goes barefoot through the dewy grass,
toes like lips quenching her thirst so vast
while listening to the soft tongues of leaves.

Penelope's Thrill Madison, Wisconsin

Penelope's Thrill is a lucky accident. Lured out of musical retirement by son Andrew, Timothy Walsh dusted off his guitars, including his favorite vintage Guilds and Gretsches, and picked up where he left off 25 years ago playing in garage bands in New Jersey and Boston.
Tim founded Penelope's Thrill as the vehicle for his songs, often pulling in other musicians for particular tracks. ... more
