Lyrics: Salome Strangelove & Grace McDunnough
You’ve been keeping me awake
Just about a week now
I think it’s time we talked this out
Whippoorwill
I know the moon ain’t been around
Did you lose your way
Maybe you just miss the company
Whippoorwill
I can sympathize
Maybe we can compromise
It’s late in the morning
It’s early, early at night
Whippoorwill
Stop all that cryin’
It doesn’t help against the night
And we both know it’s still the same world in the mornin’
Whippoorwill
Oh, I got pockets full of rocks
And I’ve been practicing my style
But that tree is so damn high
Whippoorwill
You know that crosscut bow
Out there in the back somewhere
Oh I’ve got half a mind to use it
Whippoorwill
Oh I can sympathize
Maybe we can compromise
It’s late in the morning
It’s early, early at night
Whippoorwill
I’m not givin’ you my soul
Gonna need it where I’m goin’
Maybe you could pack a bag for two
Whippoorwill
