Richard Shindell - So Says The Whipporwill lyrics

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? The change could happen anyday So said the mountaineer Before he turned to face his cliff Without a trace of fear Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo He sang right up until He caught sight of the open blue And became a whippoorwill He caught sight of the open blue And became a whippoorwill
