The Divine Comedy
Whistle for a Wind
Not a whisper in the peach trees
Not a ripple on the lake
The wind is gone to sleep, we've
Got to whistle it awake
Whistle for a wind
Whistle for a wind
Then and only then can it begin
All of us are thirsty
For what tomorrow holds
But we are at the mercy
Of things we don't control
Let's whistle for a wind
Whistle for a wind
Then and only then can it begin
Then and only then can it begin
I want to be a pirate
The terror of the seas
I want to build a fireplace
And make us all some tea
I'll be Swallow's captain
And we, her willing crew
First mate, able seamen
And I am coming too
Like another lonely planet
Like a strange and distant star
Stretch out, you can almost touch it
So near but yet so far
Whistle for a wind
Whistle for a wind
Then and only then can it begin
(Then and only then can it begin)
Then and only then can it begin
Whistle for a wind (x3)
