There's a tomcat in the alley scarin' up a fight There's a mother softly kissing her little one goodnight There's peace and then there's chaos, reality and dreams We're all trying to strike a balance between a whisper and a scream Sometimes I need atttention when you need left alone Sometimes you feel like clinging when I feel like being gone But love me soft and tender and we'll make the rafters ring As long as we meet somewhere between a whisper and a scream Well, I know you'll be listening And you know I'll be there Between a whisper and a scream we'll find a prayer Well I used to blow up easy and put my fist right through a wall You were shut down like a holiday not feeling much at all But we met there at the crossroad goin' to extremes Thank God we found each other between a whisper and a scream Somehow we found each other between a whisper and a scream
