Cry Of The Whippoorwill

Chorus:

Now listen close and you can hear

The mournful cries ring through the darkness

Lovers lost and all alone, Spirits too forever gone

 

Like a night birds wail when the wind is still

The sound of a river and a whippoorwill

Like the drivin rain on a roof of tin

Her words of love call out to you

 

In the chill of the night through the fallen snow

Two hearts run wild nowhere to go

Crossing hills and valleys wide

To meet once more on the other side

 

Chorus:

Now listen close and you can hear…

 

It’s a bitter wind that sings their song

Bout a love so right and yet so wrong

And promised hearts where passions bloom

No one can see no one can tell

 

So it’s lost in time they were never found

Frozen in silence on the cold hard ground

Forever one forever free

Wrapped in the arms of eternity

 

Chorus:

Now listen close and you can hear…

Repeat chorus and repeat last line….end
