Whippoorwill (feat. Meg MacLeod, Windel Bouwman & Huig Bergsma)

Clouds of grey in your eyes so soft When I told you I must leave We prayed God help us win this war I pinned your photo to my sleeve They taught us to hate our neighbor And we learned our lesson well Oh it's brother fighting brother Who's the winner, none can tell But when you hear the whippoorwill calling I'll be coming home to you When you hear the whippoorwill calling I'll be coming home to you I lay shattered on that battlefield Afraid I'd see you never more Until an enemy soldier come up on me, saying We can end our war Your bullet's blinded me but I'm still strong I'll be your legs you'll be my eyes So we began the blind and the broken Trudging on for our lives But when you hear the whippoorwill calling I'll be coming home to you When you hear the whippoorwill calling I'll be coming home to you He stumbled on to my Union Camp Up on his back I led the way And my union boys cried, save them both Save them both and don't delay We live but a county apart We were neighbors unaware And if we never make it back home We found a brotherhood we share I'm almost home to you dear With a love so true Can you hear the whippoorwill calling I am coming home to you When you hear the whippoorwill calling I am coming home to you When you hear the whippoorwill calling I am coming home to you When you hear the whippoorwill calling I am coming home to you I am coming home to you
