So Says the Whippoorwill

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?
