Whistle Down the Wind

I grew up here for all of my life

But I dreamed someday I'd go

Where blue eyed girls and red guitars

And the naked rivers flow

I'm not all I thought I'd be

I've always stayed around

And 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

Buses at the corner

Clock on the wall

Broken down windmill

Ain't no wind at all

I've yelled and I've 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

And 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 Marley Bone Coach

And be whistlin' down the wind

So I will take the Marley Bone Coach

And be whistlin' down the wind
