So Says the Whipporwill Songtext

von Richard Shindell

The change could happen anyday
So says the whippoorwill
She hangs around for the seeds I leave
Out on the windowsill
Be-free-you-fool, be-free-you-fool
She sings all afternoon
Then, as if to show me how it s done,
She leaps into the blue

The change could happen anyday
So say my true love s eyes
They see into my shadows
With their sweet, forgiving light
She smiles and says, Come on - let s go
Let s stroll the boulevard
It s such a shame to waste the night
Just sitting in the dark

The change could happen anyday
Or so says Father Brown
I listen for that still small voice
But I just can t make it out
Beneath the constant whispering
Of the devil that I know
But who would I be if I believed?
Who am I if I don t?

The change could happen anyday
So said the mountaineer
Before he turned to face his cliff
Without a trace of fear
Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo
He sang right up until
He caught sight of the open blue
And became a whippoorwill
He caught sight of the open blue
And became a whippoorwill
