Whip-Poor-Will Songtext
von Erin Rae

I got my window open in the Southern Cross Hotel
It′s been my longest night, I can tell
By the way, I'm not surprised
To see the desert cover over paradise

So count every rhododendron in this cool mountain light
I′ve made more mistakes than that just tonight
All you folks in heaven ain't too busy ringing the bell
Some of us down here ain't doing very well
Some of us with our windows open in the Southern Cross Hotel


Still waiting
Still waiting

For you to sing that song again
The one that you were singing at the very fall of man
It ain′t hallelujah but it may as well have been
Sing it, brother, one more time
Sing it, brother, one more time
Sing it, sister, one more time
Once for everybody you got left behind
Whippoorwill
Oh, whippoorwill
