Visions
Lonesome Whistle Blows
Deep in the night,
when people lie abed
that lonesome,
lonely train whistle
sounds across the way,
provoking a young man's
longing to see the world,
to visit far away exotic climes!
A sweetheart longs
for her loved one's return.
Ah! if only that train
was bringing him back to me!
A couple wanting to revisit
that little town they grew up in!
So filled with memories
and where everyone
knows your name!
Others wanting
to go out in the world
to find a job,
to find success, fulfillment!
So many things, it stirs up,
emotions, longings, aspirations!
Oh! That lonesome whistle
sounding in the night!
when people lie abed
that lonesome,
lonely train whistle
sounds across the way,
provoking a young man's
longing to see the world,
to visit far away exotic climes!
A sweetheart longs
for her loved one's return.
Ah! if only that train
was bringing him back to me!
A couple wanting to revisit
that little town they grew up in!
So filled with memories
and where everyone
knows your name!
Others wanting
to go out in the world
to find a job,
to find success, fulfillment!
So many things, it stirs up,
emotions, longings, aspirations!
Oh! That lonesome whistle
sounding in the night!
