I can hear a whistle blowing That's my only way of knowing Somewhere in the distance There is probably a train I can hear a church bell ring That church bell doesn't mean a thing What I've been hearing lately I would like you to explain
The first that I heard and it never occurred To me what I'd be hearing The last of me that you're likely to see You'll see that I am disappearing
I listened now with opened eyes I heard half hearted alibis There may have been a few things That I might have said myself I could hear the whistle blowing I wonder where that train is going I'm sure before it gets to there That I'll be somewhere else
The first that I heard and it never occurred To me what I'd be hearing The last of me that you're likely to see You'll see that I am disappearing
I've heard all of it all before The bells the whistles and I'm sure That it won't be the last time That I hear the church or train There's a first for almost everything Whistles blow and bells will ring This could be the last time And I won't be back again
The first that I heard and it never occurred To me what I'd be hearing The last of me that you're likely to see You'll see that I am disappearing
The first that I heard and it never occurred To me what I'd be hearing The last of me that you're likely to see You'll see that I am disappearing
