Whistle On The River

I will share with you the warmth of a summer evening's breeze

A loving word that's whispered soft and low

But he way of life I've chosen can be led by only one

I'll tell this to you now so you will know

'Cause there's a whistle on the river, and it's calling with a tune

That's buried deep inside of me and I'll be leaving soon

There's a rhythm from the wheels, and the wings are on my heels

And the winds are singing perfect harmony

I'm like any man who's in his prime and dreams of things undone

And must be free to wander where he may

Can't be burdened by a love nor a task to tie me down

Please, believe me when I say I cannot stay

'Cause there's a whistle on the river, and it's calling with a tune

That's buried deep inside of me and I'll be leaving soon

There's a rhythm from the wheels, and the wings are on my heels

And the winds are singing perfect harmony

I know it's hard to realize why I must leave again

But arrival is not someone you can see

It's not easy to explain, my attempt would be in vain

But perhaps you'll understand that it must be

'Cause there's a whistle on the river, and it's calling with a tune

That's buried deep inside of me and I'll be leaving soon

There's a rhythm from the wheels, and the wings are on my heels

And the winds are singing perfect harmony
