Whistle Down The Wind Lyrics by Tom Waits

Whistle Down The Wind Lyrics

    (tom waits)
    I've grown up here now
    All of my life
    But i dreamed
    Someday i'd go
    Where blue eyed girls
    And red guitars and
    Naked rivers flow

    I'm not all i thought i'd be
    I 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
    (just kiss me once and then)
    I'll go to hell
    I might as well
    Be whistlin' down the wind

    The bus at the corner
    The clock's on the wall
    Broken windmill
    There's no wind at all
    I've yelled and i cursed
    If i stay here i'll rust
    I'm stuck like a shipwreck
    Out here in the dust

    Sky is red
    And there world's on fire
    And the corn is taller than me
    The dog is tied
    To a wagon of rain
    And the road is as wet as the sea
    And sometimes the music from a dance
    Will carry across the plains
    And the places that i'm dreaming of
    Do they dream only of me?
    There are places where they never sleep
    And the circus never ends
    So i will take the marley bone coach
    And whistle down the wind
