       The change could happen anyday
       So says the whippoorwill
       She hangs around for the seeds I leave
       Out on the windowsill
       Be-free-you-fool, be-free-you-fool
       She sings all afternoon
       Then, as if to show me how its done,
       She leaps into the blue
       
       The change could happen anyday
       So say my true loves eyes
       They see into my shadows
       With their sweet, forgiving light
       She smiles and says, Come on--lets go
       Lets stroll the boulevard
       Its such a shame to waste the night
       Just sitting in the dark
       
       The change could happen anyday
       Or so says Father Brown
       I listen for that still small voice
       But I just cant make it out
       Beneath the constant whispering
       Of the devil that I know
       But who would I be if I believed?
       Who am I if I don't?
       
       The change could happen anyday
       So said the mountaineer
       Before he turned to face his cliff
       Without a trace of fear
       Yodel-ay-hee-hoo, yodel-ay-hee-hoo
       He sang right up until
       He caught sight of the open blue
       And became a whippoorwill
       He caught sight of the open blue
       And became a whippoorwill
