Whistling Away the Dark - Henry Mancini

Eden's far from where I lie Stars pull me under and whisper, "Goodbye" Burning stones cast me aside While sister sparrow learns to fly And wealth echoes out alone Beneath the hill where thieves will die Spears pierce a sacred side Pious men resume their fight Daggers piercing from their eyes Bleeding out upon the floor So dance with me in a mountain stream And take me home Water heal these weary feet Oh valley, sing your song On a white horse I ride Angels trailing at my side Coming forth to claim my bride Woah, leave the valley break to home So bury me in a mountain stream And take me home Whistling trees sing me to sleep Oh, with your roots I'll grow Woah oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh Woah oh oh oh oh So dance with me in a mountain stream And take me home Water heal these weary feet Oh valley, sing your song Bury me in a mountain stream And take me home Whistling trees sing me to sleep Oh, with your roots I'll grow

Well she calls me up when she's broken Says to leave my front door open I come home to find her smoking With her eyes all fragile and thin She's always been hopeless at hoping Always coped badly with coping And I never know when she's joking She never lets anyone in I know I'm a fool to let her run away with my heart And she'll never tire of these games Loving her is like playing catch in the dark I'm a tear drop in an ocean of flames And we'll drink too much for a wednesday She'll ask me why none of her men stay I tell her just what her friends say It never goes down too well And she'll stay hear til late in the evening But she's always arriving or leaving She never decides to believe in The people who know her so well I know I'm a fool to let her run away with my heart And she'll never tire of these games Loving her is like playing catch in the dark I'm a tear drop in an ocean of flames Well, she says if we're single at 40 We'll get married and move to the country But I know she'll never want me Then it's five fifteen in the morning I reach for her whilst I'm yawning She leaves me with no warning

Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind There's a heavy on this mind There's a weight behind these eyes What if I, what if I can't stop the rising tide? Above the undertow, do you see me down below? A sinking stone, wondering how much deeper I can go Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind, oh Oh my head, my head, my head is a prison No one ever visits It's just you and me 'til the end, the end Waiting out my sentence If I find an exit, will you still follow me? A hundred stories high What would it be like to be free from this parasite inside of me? And at my funeral, would anybody show? No pall to bear, just a coffin sitting all alone Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts in my mind, oh My head, my head, my head is a prison No one ever visits It's just you and me 'til the end, the end Waiting out my sentence If I find an exit, will you still follow me? To kill what I create To keep the wolves at bay You know I've tried a million times but they still find a way to cage me Can't drink, can't drug, can't drown 'em away Can't sleep, can't think, can't find an escape From these dark, dark thoughts These dark, dark thoughts Oh my head, my head, my head is a prison No one ever visits It's just you and me 'til the end ('til the end), the end Waiting out my sentence If I find an exit, will you still follow me?

Oh, my son too young to understand that life is dark sometimes There is just not enough light And you, you broke me everyday, but I fought you back I think I could die in the next room without you noticing Where do we go, where do we go from here and where do we go? Where do we go, where do we go from here, what happened to us? Gotta breathe in, gotta breathe out Up on your feet, gotta think twice The future is dark, the future is vile Without you there's no tomorrow We, we die alone, but we live without And yes, it hurts me so to realize that death won't do us Won't do us part, but something Something else might Where do we go, where do we go from here and where do we go? Where do we go, where do we go from here, what happened to us? Gotta breathe in, gotta breathe out Up on your feet, gotta think twice The future is dark, the future is vile Without you there's no tomorrow Gotta breathe in, gotta breathe out Up on your feet, gotta think twice The future is dark, it's all that we've got Without you there's no tomorrow

At the dark end of the street That's where we always meet Hiding in shadows where we don't belong Living in darkness to hide our wrong You and me At the dark end Of the street You and me I know time is gonna take its toll We have to pay for the love we stole It's a sin, and we know it's wrong Oh, but our love keeps coming on strong Steal away To the dark end Of the street They're gonna find us They're gonna find us They're gonna find us, Lord, someday You and me At the dark end Of the street You and me And when the daylight hours roll 'round And by chance we're both downtown If we should meet, just walk on by Oh, darling, please, don't cry Tonight, we'll meet At the dark end Of the street
