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 it’s done, 
She leaps into the blue 

The change could happen anyday 
So say my true love’s eyes 
They see into my shadows 
With their sweet, forgiving light 
She smiles and says, Come on - let’s go 
Let’s stroll the boulevard 
It’s 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 can’t 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
