lyrics

dry as a bone you sit and stare
breaths grow heavy and smiles grow rare
how many times have you said to me
while staring into infinity?

whistles blow, whistles blow back
trains don't talk they just make tracks
the sound of the summer as it goes by
sounds like crickets in the night

your mother had twins but one of them died
you try to catch you're breath but it sounds like a sigh
your ears pop as we gain altitude
and your heart sinks at the breath-taking view

whistles blow, whistles blow back
lovers never leave they just talk back
the sound of the summer as it goes by
sounds like lovers in a fight

all you want from the big city
is a touch of anonymity
disappear completely from the scene
but it's not easy to escape reality

you haven't said a word for the last thousand miles
you've got your frowning face in magazines filled with smiles
a sudden darkness overtakes you
you try to hold your breath, but you just turn blue

whistles blow, whistles blow back
trains don't talk they just make tracks
the sound of the summer as it goes by
sounds like crickets in the night

whistles blow, whistles blow back
lovers never leave they just talk back
the sound of the summer as it goes by
sounds like lovers in a fight

whistles blow, whistles blow back
whistles blow, whistles blow back
whistles blow, whistles blow back
whistles blow, whistles blow back
