Story Behind The Song
Somewhere in the back of my memory, I remember hearing the sad sound of a whipperwills song, and it always stuck with me. I wrote the song from my own experience of being single and the times of loneliness that goes with that at times.

Lyrics
Song of the Whipperwill
Verse 1
Out side my window I hear a familiar tune.
A lonely soul calls hauntingly from the light of a full moon.
I gaze out into the night, leaning on the window sill.
In harmony I sing along, the song of the Whipperwill.
Chorus:
The high notes pierce right through you
the lows will make you cry.
You feel like somethings missing
Though you're never quite sure why.
It'll mesmerize and hypnotize you against your will.
Singin' the wistful song...Song of the Whipperwill.
Verse2
Without a word he tells the story of my life's history.
How he knows me so well remains a mystery.
Oh, but, we have so much in common, his loneliness I feel.
His song is my song, the song of the Whipperwill.
Bridge:
So hide your heart, guard your soul, be faithful and true.
Beware lest you find yourself singin' along too.
