The Whistle

[Verse 1] I was taken back When the bullet cracked I did not hear the whistle blowing Things must pass Your eyes could look no more than laugh A tin-can rattled 'round the bandstand Didn't break up bad But I got low fast And in a taxi back to Drimnagh I had to cry The driver looked back, lit a smile "Won't be the last one, son, you know that You'll be alright, lad" [Chorus] But judging by the way I was feeling You're all I'll need I'll numb out this pain You're all I'll need Going off the weight of my dreaming You're all I need I want you this way Oh, you're all I'll need [Verse 2] They said don't look back But I had to glance At August once A virgin heat burned days to months Your jeans rolled up against the sun Canal bank, ashing out the last one Now this old worn bend Takes me back towards dead Pass the flame, I'll smoke another Lean on friends I'll feel the shame, but no, it ends The whistle blows and it's all over But it's not the end [Chorus] But judging by the way I was feeling You're all I'll need I'll numb out this pain You're all I'll need Going off the weight of my dreaming You're all I need I want you this way Oh, you're all I'll need [Outro] Till the edges of time I'll keep you mine Get out Gave it all to you Gave it all to you Oh, you're all I need
