Purple Whisper

I wonder if it's rumor or truth
I wonder if it's age or youth
What's that she's saying under her breath
Is that a ring or an amulet?

I wonder if it's secret or known
I wonder if it's debt or a loan
What are the words do they rise or fall?
Put my ear to the hole in the wall

Purple whisper of women
Such a colorful dialect
Purple whisper of women
What I'm hearing is indirect
Purple whisper of women
What you mean I do not detect
Purple whisper of women
Let me into your goddess sect

I wonder if I'm out on a limb
I wonder if it's whole or skim
Is she feeling the joy or the ache
Will she offer the give or the take?

Purple whisper of women
A relationship to dissect
Purple whisper of women
Maybe something to resurrect
Purple whisper of women
Romantic structures to erect
Purple whisper of women
You take to drama with great effect
Purple whisper of women
Is this emotion or intellect?

Purple whispers and the red red rose
This kind of blues was not what you chose
Green is for envy and yellow is fear
But your reception is so unclear

I wonder if I'm yin or yang
I wonder if I'm a dud or a bang
The words are sweet with a little twang
You remind me of lemon meringue

Purple whisper of women
My clumsy words you cannot deflect
Purple whisper of women
When I'm advancing will you object?
Purple whisper of women
I'm face-to-face with my self-respect
Purple whisper of women
It's an old tape I cannot eject
Purple whisper of women
I should have been more circumspect
Purple whisper of women
I thought our bodies would intersect
