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
