Whistle can Lead a March (Single lyrics)


(Whistle)

When the golden night drips its honeyed lips with empty sensuals

The roses leak their expert kiss dripping dew on sentinels

I thread my way past streets of shame as the powerful stoop and crumble

Time to shout them back to chalk and dust unhinge their wizened glue



Oh I could rush by or I could chose to hide

when the clouds are high ache burns in my eye

A whistle can lead a march

Oh how I long for the summer long when days were like weeks to me

When all you could see was the sight of the sea and

the freedom to do what you feel

Ooo



When a flower grows without water or sun when a thing is cut from the root

If a bird clipped once who knew to fly when it’s ready will soar so high

And if you had just one wing it’s all you’d ever need to win

Like a prisoner freed from a life of sin seeing sun on horizons film



Not a moment too late not a moment too wait to throw off ancient woes

Remember that bird who sings that a whistle can lead a march



Oh I could rush by or I could chose to hide

when the clouds are high ache burns in my eye

A whistle can lead a march

Oh how I long for the summer long when days were like weeks to me

When all you could see was the sight of the sea

the freedom to do what you feel



Oh if you had just one wing it’s all you’d ever need to win

Oh remember that bird that sings that a whistle can lead a march



Oh how I long for the summer long when days were like weeks to me

When all you could see was the sight of the sea the freedom to do what you feel


(Whistle)
