Whip Poor Will Lyrics - Magnolia Electric Company Co. - Songs:ohia

Got my window open in the southern cross hotel 

It's been my longest night I can tell 

By the way I'm not surprised 

To see the desert cover over paradise 

Now count every rhododendron in this cool mountain light 

I made more mistakes than that just tonight 

So all of you folks in heaven not too busy ringing the bell 

Some of us down here ain't doing very well 

Some of us with our windows open in the southern cross motel 

Still waitin 

For you to sing that song again 

The one you were singin at the very fall of man 

It ain't hallelujah but it might as well have been 

Sing it brother one more time 

Sing it brother one more time 

Sing it sister one more time 

Sing it sister one more time 

Once for everybody who got left behind 

Whip-poor-will 

Oh whip-poor-will 

Whip-poor-will
