Its been a long time since I've seen you Just like this, face to face And I know I should have called you But I had another ghost to chase Should've read your letters Should've found out how you'd been But the truth is there was no escape The call of whistle and steam Of whistle and steam
There's a man down at the station On a newspaper bed "I just need some kind of salvation Before I die" he said But honey we're just passers-by In another leaving scene You and I are locked in tight To the call of whistle and steam Of whistle and steam Of whistle and steam
It's the sleepers and the steel Or the black-root and the vine But my place is the space between The past and the horizon line
Can you hear that old horn blowin' Every time you close your eyes? And behind every bolted door Is there a voice you recognise? Singing prayers, singing curses Singing all about the dream To everyone caught in the headlights Caught in the whistle and steam In the whistle and steam Caught in the whistle and steam In the whistle and steam In the whistle and steam
Caught in the whistle and steam In the whistle and steamTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
