(hmmmmm) Underneath the heavy
canopy of pine
Listen to the shadows
shifting on the vine
Where the whip-poor-will
is calling out to you
Singing simple melodies
we always knew
Oh, the whip-poor-will sings of a love so deep
While the rest of the mountain
is fast asleep (fast asleep)
Every note she holds,
every sigh she sends Is a promise
of a love that never ends
We left our footprints in the damp red clay
Chasing down the remnants
of a fading day
Now the evening breeze is whispering our names
And the bird is playing gentle
acoustic games (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And when the morning light breaks through the haze
We'll still be walking down these quiet ways
Oh, the whip-poor-will sings of a love so deep
While the rest of the mountain
is fast asleep (fast asleep) Every note she holds,
every sigh she sends Is a promise
of a love that never ends
Singing love songs in the dark... (hummm)
