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 rhododendron in this cool mountain light I made more mistakes than that just tonight So all of you folks in heaven not too busy ringing the bell Some of us down here ain't doing very well Some of us with our windows open in the southern cross motel Still waitin Still waitin For you to sing that song again The one you were singin 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 Oh whip-poor-will Whip-poor-will
