Lazy Whipporwill
Yearning Melodies: Tales of Unheard Echoes
Lyrics
Well I'm so blue and lonesome
Expressing sadness and loneliness
Every night it starts again
Feeling recurring emotional pain every night
I try to hide the way I feel
Attempting to conceal true emotions
It seems I'll never win
Experiencing continuous defeat or failure
If I could hear that mournful song
Desiring solace from a melancholic melody
This pain might let me be
Hoping the song could alleviate the pain
But that Lazy Whipporwill
Referring to a Whipporwill bird as lazy
Won't sing his song for me.
Expressing frustration as the bird doesn't sing for the speaker
Well I keep waiting, while he sits up in the tree
Continuously waiting for the bird to sing
And I'm not sure, but I think he's blaming me
Feeling as if blamed by the bird for unknown reasons
I'd like to get this over, but no matter how I plead
Wanting to move past this situation but unable to
The triflin' lazy Whipporwill, won't sing his song for me.
Expressing frustration again at the bird's refusal to sing
It's like he knows I'm hurtin'
Perceiving the bird's awareness of the speaker's pain
So I'll get what I deserve
Expecting consequences or suffering as a result
Sleepless and endless days
Enduring sleepless, difficult times
On a Cold plate I am served
Feeling neglected or unimportant
I reckon I don't qualify
Feeling unworthy of receiving the bird's song
For a tune that should be free
Believing the song should be freely given
Because that lazy Whipporwill
Continuing frustration at the bird's refusal
Won't sing his song for me.
Reiterating the bird's refusal to sing for the speaker
