Whippoorwill
I find myself
Tossing stones at the whippoorwill
While he sings on the windowsill
After dusk
I read all the books
Studied all the arithmetic
Bought into its politics
In a rush
But I'm flying
Riding
The lightning in the wind
And just around the bend
A radiant morning sky
But the bird just sings at night
I'm building a wall
Getting lost in the Albertson's
Throwing back Ibuprofen
For the bullet in my heart
I'm calling it off
Bring my body from the night
Have the birds keep singing right
Into the morning sun
Cause I'm flying
I'm riding
The lightning in the wind
And just around the bend
A radiant morning sky
But the bird still sings at night
How I've settled in the mourning
How I've only sung at night
It's always darkest before morning
Maybe I've grown to hate the light
Cause I'm flying
I'm riding
The lightning in the wind
And just around the bend
A radiant morning sky
So I'll sing into the light
Tossing stones at the whippoorwill
While he sings on the windowsill
After dusk
I read all the books
Studied all the arithmetic
Bought into its politics
In a rush
But I'm flying
Riding
The lightning in the wind
And just around the bend
A radiant morning sky
But the bird just sings at night
I'm building a wall
Getting lost in the Albertson's
Throwing back Ibuprofen
For the bullet in my heart
I'm calling it off
Bring my body from the night
Have the birds keep singing right
Into the morning sun
Cause I'm flying
I'm riding
The lightning in the wind
And just around the bend
A radiant morning sky
But the bird still sings at night
How I've settled in the mourning
How I've only sung at night
It's always darkest before morning
Maybe I've grown to hate the light
Cause I'm flying
I'm riding
The lightning in the wind
And just around the bend
A radiant morning sky
So I'll sing into the light
