Whistle Down the Wind Gavin Bryars (Ft. Jessica Walker)

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
And I'll go to hell
I might as well be whistling 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 the world is 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
