Whistle Down The Wind

They met upon a Sunday mornin' Her long legs a runnin' to beat the bells of the chapel Now he was a watchin' and all disbelievin' Cause she flew like an angel Today was the picnic and raffle But then she stopped dead in her tracks and Turned an ivory ear to this stranger's tune A whistle so clear and soft, she never heard before And would not forget soon, hmmmm Youth so wild with endless days The summertime smiled sweet upon her stranger's eyes He told her of things she'd never known Like New York streets, how the Snow lights up Colorado skies And with the full moon hangin' low She'd turn an ivory ear to this stranger's tune A whistle so clear and soft, he disappeared that night And she cried to the moon, to the moon And she cried Whistle down the wind, you can whistle down the wind It will carry your sweet tune to these longin' ears again If you whistle, whistle down the wind If you whistle, whistle down the wind Shiny grey, the years were kind, but still through time She thought about her stranger Just a criminal, the townsfolk said, and they heard He'd moved up north so he'd be out of danger But still in the hush of night she Turns an ivory ear to this stranger's tune A whistle so clear and soft, she sends a heartfelt plea And hopes he'll hear her soon, Lord hear her soon And she still cries Whistle down the wind, you can whistle down the wind It will carry your sweet tune to these longin' ears again If you whistle, whistle down the wind If you whistle, whistle down the Whistle down the wind, you can whistle down the wind It will carry your sweet tune to these longin' ears again If you whistle, whistle down the wind If you whistle, whistle down the wind Won't you whistle, whistle down the wind
