Whippoorwill Hill (Larry W. Jones 11/09/2007) (song#4150)

Whippoorwill
Is your saddest song directed to me
Love is not where it's expected to be
I've listened so long to your lonesome trill
Has my love gone upon Whippoorwill Hill

Whippoorwill
If you see her in some green valley in spring
Please tell her that there I will go journeying
But until then my dreams will be lying still
There beside you on top of Whippoorwill Hill

In your lonesome song deep in the night
Do you long to see your love alight
Sad whippoorwill music
It's such a lowly tune
Must be kin to a loon
As both of you serenade the moon

Whippoorwill
How was it planned that you sadly sing
I know you must understand these things
Oh, will my dreams ever be fulfilled
Or will they die on Whippoorwill Hill

- instrumental -

In your lonesome song deep in the night
Do you long to see your love alight
Sad whippoorwill music
It's such a lowly tune
Must be kin to a loon
As both of you serenade the moon

Whippoorwill
How was it planned that you sadly sing
I know you must understand these things
Oh, will my dreams ever be fulfilled
Or will they die on Whippoorwill Hill

That's lovely. We don't have these birds here but I remember the old song I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry. james Taylor mentions a loon but I don't know what one of those is (note to search Wikipedia).

I like the imagery and it's interesting - any sight of a tune yet?

Howdy and thanks fellas for the approval rating. I only write lyrics, so I just hum it.
Now, I'm sure somebody on the forum owns an orchestra - Band In A Box? - Harmonica??
All my lyrics are copyrighted and the titles registered through BMI, so this one is ready
for your music, recording and marketing. I hope you "make a million" off it. Have fun....LWJ
