Whistler Lyrics - Legao - Erlend Øye

(Instrumental) 

A whistler on the subway 

Remind me that tune 

I heard the first time 

Around that time I fell in love with you 

A picture in the paper 

Of buildings in that town 

Where we spend our heathen honeymoon 

And tears come running down 

Signalling what I have been denying for too long 

I have not and I will never move on 

The books of the 1920s 

Of lovers torn by war 

Engages, moves, and touches me 

Telling me I (?openly) 

Never was I drafted 

I chose that for myself 

As you went on to find love 

With many other men 

And it is only now that I begin to understand 

What I carelessly let slip out of my hand 

I thoguht I could find another you 

But there is only one 

And I only dare to tell you this in song 

I have not and I will 

Never move on
