Up the Rocky Mountains, down the other side
It'll all be slow and easy, across that Great Divide
Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you what I've done
It may not be what you had in mind but you and I having fun
Over many a mile we travelled hard, with many a mile to go
If we ever pass this way again, we'll [?] it's so
Pass around, comprendo folks, tell us what you need to know
For you'll never get to heaven with that simple whistle blow
You'll never get to heaven with that simple whistle blow
Time is hard to stand up, as you would be taken for
Fallen angels leave their cell but the path is ours to go
So pass around, comprendo folks, tell us what you need to know
For you'll never get to heaven with that simple whistle blow
Well running slow, coming home, the die is cast so cheap
When the stone says east instead of west, that's where it'll company
Just stand there in the shadow, let the light come through
I can't describe to you what you'll find when you see through
But I think this life the best I can, it's time to say OK
I hope I never miss the one, unless they came with me
But if I have, forgive me please, it's riven and OK
It's my place to make amends where the river comes and go
Sometimes it's hard to stand up, and if I rotate
Fallen angels leave their cell but the path is ours to go
So pass around, comprendo folks, tell us what you need to know
For you'll never get to heaven with that simple whistle blow
So pass around, comprendo folks, tell us what you need to know
For you'll never get to heaven with that simple whistle blow
