I 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 rhododrendon in this cool mountain light |
|
I've made more mistakes than that just tonight |
|
so all of you folks in heaven not too a busy ringing the bells |
|
some of us down here aren't doing very well |
|
some of us with our windows open in the southern cross hotel |
|
still waiting |
|
still waiting |
|
for you to sing that song again |
|
the one you were singing 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 |
|
o whip-poor-will |
|
whip-poor-will |
