(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)      fast asleep in the garden      the rain is gone away      somewhere in the margin      are sheep that's gone astray            like the old man of the ocean      whose eyes tells where he's been      or one who lacks devotion      betrays his love again      the thief will surely die      when he's taken all he can steal            oh whippoorwill      are you high upon your hill      while my feet are on the ground            oh whippoorwill      you make my heart stand still      when I hear your evening sound      (PIANO & STRINGS)            I know you're sad, much deeper      then my human ears can hear      you never had a keeper      cause you live where no man's near            you call from out the timber      like a chanter on a throne      only to remember      the secret still unknown      and makes us to decide      are we false or are we real            oh whippoorwill      are you high upon your hill      while my feet are on the ground            oh whippoorwill      you make my heart stand still      when I hear your evening sound            when I hear your evening sound      when I hear your evening sound      ______________________________________________________________________      Lyrics are copyright 1975, 1976 Randle Chowning
