G. Edward McBride - Whippoorwill

from Round 15, Week 5 by Monday Morning 3AM Music Club

about

I didn't intend for it to be this long but with that slow tempo, it takes a while... This is the first recording that I have used my new $20.00 garage sale vintage Hammond Sounder.

lyrics

The whippoorwill stands in the shadows of the dusk
Can't spread her wings cause she's stuck in the dust
With broken dreams she closes her eyes
She sings her last song in a world full of lies

Look at the stars
The lights and the cars
There's nothing but fun
In the California sun

When she comes down that mountain with a head full of done
Ascend and descend this cycle she'll run
Feet on the edge there's a thousand feet to the ground
Will the world even notice if she's not around

Look at the stars
The lights and the cars
There's nothing but fun
In the California sun

The whippoorwill spreads her wings and flies
The pain will subside when the body dies
Fly whippoorwill go fly
Fly whippoorwill go and fly
