You’re the one who l looked up to
You’re the one who saved my life
You’re the one I stabbed my knife through
Three times in the moonlight

I was only
Just a boy then
Though it’s only
Been three days
Can you fault me
For surviving
Can you fault me
I know I can

And I hear the whippoorwill

You told me that I’d betray you
You saw the writing on the wall
I denied it took a vow Said
I would die ‘fore you would fall

And they saw the blood on my hands
Said my voice was sounding strange
As I swore I never knew you
The whippoorwill began to sing

I saw the blood and life drip from you
I watched you die yet here You stand
In my fear I gave you up and
Now you have me in your hand

And you ask me
If I love you
And you ask me
If I love you
And then you ask me
If I love you
Knowing well what I will say
So my response is,
“Will you haunt me please?”
I aint going nowhere
Without you

I heard the whippoorwill
You say you love me still
