Whistle Down The WindI grew up here all of my lifeBut I dreamed someday I'd go Where the blue-eyed girls And the red guitars And the naked rivers flow I'm not all I thought I'd be I've always stayed around I've been as far as Mercy and Grand Frozen to the ground I can't stay here And I'm scared to leave So kiss me once and then I'll go to hell I might as well be Whistlin' down the wind The bus is at the corner The clock on the wall Broken down windmill There ain't no wind at all And I yelled and I cursed If I stay here I'll rust I'm stuck like a shipwreck Out here in the dust The sky is red And the world is on fire And the corn is taller than me And the dog is tied to a wagon of rain And the road is wet as the sea Sometimes the music from a dance Will carry across the plains The places that I'm dreaming of Dream only of your face There are places where they never sleep And the circus never ends So I will take the Marleybone coach And be whistlin' down the wind So I will take the Marleybone coach And be whistlin' down the wind |
