The Whippoorwill

(album: The Whippoorwill - 2012)

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
