Whippoorwill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a hole in the house
No fairground ride will fill
No time can kill
Since you went away

And if I don't climb it
Maybe no one will
I could hide until
There's nothing left to say

[Chorus]
But I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
But the whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill knows

[Verse 2]
There a hole in the house
No holiday can change
No wood can frame
Since you went away

Like a conversation scrubbed
Out on a page
On an unlit stage
Nothing left to say

[Chorus]
But I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
But the Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill knows

[Post-Chorus]
I can feel its hands around my neck
I can feel its fingers on my eyes
I can feel its head across my legs
I can feel it anywhere I hide

There's a hole in the house
No fairground ride will fill
But the whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
There's a hole in the house
No fairground ride will fill There's a hole in the house
No fairground ride will fill

[Verse 3]
There's a hole in the house
Feels like a lung held still
Like an unpaid bill
Since you went away

And your face is frozen
But I hear you still
Hidden in a whippoorwill
Calling out again

[Chorus]
But I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
I won't let it go
Why won't I let it go
But the Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill knows

[Post-Chorus]
I can feel its hands around my neck
I can feel its fingers on my eyes
I can feel its head across my legs
I can feel it anywhere I hide

There's a hole in the house
No fairground ride will fill
But the whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill

I can feel its hands around my neck
I can feel its fingers on my eyes
I can feel its head across my legs
I can feel it anywhere I hide

There's a hole in the house
No fairground ride will fill
But the whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
But the whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
But the whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
Whippoorwill
