The Sound of Your Name

I sing about
All my fame
But all I want to hear
Is the sound of your name
Speak it softly
Let it drift on the wind
Falling for you
Was my greatest sin

All I want to hear
Is the sound of your name
Speak it loud
Shout it out
It never sounds the same

I sing about
All my fame
But all I want to hear
Is the sound of your name
I know it's true
That nothing's ever gonna be the same
I have to sing this song
Just to drown out the shame

So I wake up
And sing away all the pain
I sing it loud
Along with the cold, cold rain
The rain...

I could sit here
And sing about all my fame
But all I want to hear
Is the sound of your name
I'll speak it loud
Shout it out
It never sounds the same

All I want to hear
Is the sound of your name
Just your name

So I'll walk up to your grave
And all I'll whisper
Is the sound of your name
