(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)
|
|
fast asleep in the garden
|
|
the rain is gone away
|
|
somewhere in the margin
|
|
are sheep that's gone astray
|
|
|
|
like the old man of the ocean
|
|
whose eyes tells where he's been
|
|
or one who lacks devotion
|
|
betrays his love again
|
|
the thief will surely die
|
|
when he's taken all he can steal
|
|
|
|
oh whippoorwill
|
|
are you high upon your hill
|
|
while my feet are on the ground
|
|
|
|
oh whippoorwill
|
|
you make my heart stand still
|
|
when I hear your evening sound
|
|
(PIANO & STRINGS)
|
|
|
|
I know you're sad, much deeper
|
|
then my human ears can hear
|
|
you never had a keeper
|
|
cause you live where no man's near
|
|
|
|
you call from out the timber
|
|
like a chanter on a throne
|
|
only to remember
|
|
the secret still unknown
|
|
and makes us to decide
|
|
are we false or are we real
|
|
|
|
oh whippoorwill
|
|
are you high upon your hill
|
|
while my feet are on the ground
|
|
|
|
oh whippoorwill
|
|
you make my heart stand still
|
|
when I hear your evening sound
|
|
|
|
when I hear your evening sound
|
|
when I hear your evening sound
|
