The Whippoorwill

Going through life the righteous way

The only way so the preacher would say

You put me on the Jericho road

Barefoot and smiling, standing there by the piano

Well, I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

Yeah, she sang my song and called me by name

Well, I hung my head in shame, oh yeah

You sewed my years together like a patchwork quilt

Your bougainvillea's bloom it'll never wilt

The lessons I remember and some that I forgot

Are precious and pure now, like the one honeysuckle drop

Well, I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

Yeah she sang my song and called me by name

Well, I hung my head in shame, oh yeah

I'm gonna sing my song with the Whippoorwill

In a sweetheart harmony

Though I know just what went with her

She's always here with me

Always here with me

Well, I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

Yeah, she sang my song and called me by name

Well, I dreamed I heard that Whippoorwill sing

Yeah, she sang my song and called me by name

I'm starting all over again

Yes, I'm starting all over again
