Daventry Backporch - 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
