In a Whirl

Your brother came around
He told me he had something on his mind
And then he stood and shook

So I asked him in
And I offered him a glass of wine
I didn't know where to look...

And then he told me that he loved me
Right there and then, all In A Whirl.
And the clocks stood still
And then he walked right out
And without further word, then
He was gone, in a whirl...

So What Was I to think?
Suppose "he'd had too much to drink?"
And "his friends put him up to it?"
But his ghost did linger
And a faint but genuine sense of...what?
What, I couldn't tell you.
His words hung in the air like smoke.

And then he told me that he loved me
Right there and then, all In A Whirl
And my heart stood still
But then, he walked right out
and without further word, then
he was gone, in a whirl...

And then he told me that he loved me
Right there and then, all In A Whirl
And my heart, it danced!
But then, he walked right out
and without further word, then
he was gone, in a whirl...
