The Whisperers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Roger Taylor, Nicholas Evans) 



                    Between men, between horses, there is mistrust and fear
                       And it's only got deeper with the passing of years
                     We know this from paintings, we know this from books
                      Some men had real magic, while others just talked

                    There were gypsies and showmen and carlatan shamans
                   There were men who could softly whisper the devils away
                       John Solomon Rary tamed a horse of the Queen
                                Laid it down on the ground
                   Then he laid down beside it and put his head on it's hooves
                                You can imagine the scene

                    For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears
                           These men were known as whisperers
                           These men were known as whisperers

                        An Indian charm bought for the price of a meal
                     Was the scret of Sullivan that died with him for real?
                     We know this from paintings, we know this from books
                      Some men had real magic, while others just talked

                      For secrets uttered softly to soothe all troubled fears
                           These men were known as whisperers
                           These men were known as whisperers

                      For secrets uttered softly to soothe all troubled fears
                           These men were known as whisperers
                    For secrets uttered softly into pricked and troubled ears
                           These men were known as whisperers

                           These men were known as whisperers
