Whippoorwill - SubRosa

Oh, my Sally’s done gone*

And it’s all my fault

Oh, my Sally’s done gone

I never listened to a word she said

The purple hills

Seem to call out her name

Like the whippoorwill

I didn’t listen to the warning she gave

I know there’s no turning back

She tried to share

All her worries with me

But I was bowed down with care

I didn’t see the trap I was in

One look in her eyes

Full of knowledge and pain

Oh, my pack of lies

Melted fast as my alibis

I know there’s no turning back

And one day I’ll be like a bird in flight

Floating over this valley so wide

And one day I’ll be like a bird in flight

Floating over this desert so wide
