Hi, this has been bugging me for weeks now. I heard this song on the radio that’s been running through my head on and off for days. I have no idea who’s it’s by or what it’s called, so I thought I’d petition the Teeming Millions. All I know about the song is this line and I think I have it wrong: Days without frontiers, war without tears It also has whistling (or something like it) in it. It’s kinda slow, and sung by a man. Please, if anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. ---

_That’s_ what I get for not checking for replies before I hit post. 😛 ---
