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 Iwould 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 goin'
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
