Whistle Down The Wind Lyrics - Bone Machine - 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
