Not a whisper in the peach trees Not a ripple on the lake The wind is gone to sleep, we've Got to whistle it awake Whistle for a wind Whistle for a wind Then and only then can it begin All of us are thirsty For what tomorrow holds But we are at the mercy Of things we don't control Let's whistle for a wind Whistle for a wind Then and only then can it begin Then and only then can it begin I want to be a pirate The terror of the seas I want to build a fireplace And make us all some tea I'll be Swallow's captain And we, her willing crew First mate, able seamen And I am coming too Like another lonely planet Like a strange and distant star Stretch out, you can almost touch it So near but yet so far Whistle for a wind Whistle for a wind Then and only then can it begin (Then and only then can it begin) Then and only then can it begin Whistle for a wind Whistle for a wind Whistle for a wind
