Lyrics

I can hear the whippoorwill sing
At this time of year their voices ring
Long before the break of morning light
In the middle of the night

I came here because I love the sound
So much nicer than it was in town
With the coyotes and fireflies
We could watch the world go by

I don't want to leave
It's too soon to say goodbye
But if that choice were made for me
There'd be no tears to cry

Maybe later when my time has come
I'll come back and sit here in the sun
And you'll hear me in a gentle breeze
And the buzzin' of the bees

Whippoorwill, oh whippoorwill
Oh whippoorwill
Won't you fly away home

I can hear the whippoorwill sing
At this time of year their voices ring
Long before the break of morning light
In the middle of the night
