Lament Of The Chiming Wedgebill
When the wind's from the north, loveI can hear the railway lineThat low, lonesome whistleComes floating through the nightAnd I dream of departureOf a suitcase by the doorAnd I wake in the morningAs weary as before I fell asleepWhen the wind's from the west, loveI can smell the distant seaAnd ten thousand teardropsCome flooding back to meI'd almost forgottenHow we spoke of setting sailThat evening gin-soddenThe moon a fingernail scratched in the skyFor we'd seen the sorrow summer bringsWhere the chiming wedgebill sings“Oh why did you get drunk?Why did you get drunk?”But when the wind's from the south, loveYou're only half an hour from hereI hardly need pedalLetras de cancionesAnd that hill just disappearsThe silos stands silentDown that endless railway lineThe district's desertedThe sunset might be mineAnd yours, of courseBut I've seen the sorrow summer bringsWhere the chiming wedgebill sings“Oh why did you get drunk?Why did you get drunk?Why did you get drunk?Oh why did you get drunk?” From Letras Mania
