Select language to translate this lyric
Its been a long time since Iâve seen you
Just like this, face to face
And I know I should have called you
But I had another ghost to chase
Shouldâve read your letters
Shouldâve found out how youâd been
But the truth is there was no escape
The call of whistle and steam
Of whistle and steam
Thereâs a man down at the station
On a newspaper bed
âI just need some kind of salvation
Before I dieâ he said
But honey weâre just passers-by
In another leaving scene
You and I are locked in tight
To the call of whistle and steam
Of whistle and steam
Of whistle and steam
Itâs the sleepers and the steel
Or the black-root and the vine
But my place is the space between
The past and the horizon line
Can you hear that old horn blowinâ
Every time you close your eyes?
And behind every bolted door
Is there a voice you recognise?
Singing prayers, singing curses
Singing all about the dream
To everyone caught in the headlights
Caught in the whistle and steam
In the whistle and steam
Caught in the whistle and steam
In the whistle and steam
In the whistle and steam
Caught in the whistle and steam
In the whistle and steam
