Whistle Down the Wind lyrics

I grew up here all of my life

But 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
