v1:
the whispers ride upon the wind
colorful stories they bring to you
dramatic and entertaining
but not always entirely true

v2:
you never know who you can trust
with an errant word or phrase
cause they don't even indicate
if you're having good or bad days

v3:
don't we all have careless moments
mixed up with every other one
you don't want people to forget
all the good things you have done

ch:
from my heart to your heart
you'll always know where i stand
when you hear the chattering willow
just remember it's secondhand

v4:
it's easy to lose your way
when you travel on a dusty road
and judgements are made of you
picking and choosing a la mode

v5:
so let me be crystal clear
and let no words reach your mind
that don't come out of my mouth
for they all may be unkind

ch: (2x)
from my heart to your heart
you'll always know where i stand
when you hear the chattering willow
just remember it's secondhand
