Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?
Does it seem like I’m looking for an answer
To a question I can’t ask
I don’t know which way the feather falls
Or if i should blow it to the left
All the voices that are spinnin’ around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away
I’m hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don’t know
I’m hanging on to those good times, baby
Just want to let them roll
I’m gonna make it to the light and joy
I’ll tell you why
I got a woman who can take me there
The apple of my eye
Oh, i just don’t know, no no, no, no
I love her so
Don’t let me see that morning paper
Cause i don’t need those dues
It’s just the same old murder movie
But they call it the news
I’ll tell you what would be some story
And what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
That just happened to me, oh,
I just don’t know, no, no, no, no
I’ll never let her go
Every time i hear somebody sneakin’
Up behind whoa, i turn around
But i still hear that sound
And just when i’m about to lose my mind
Here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way down along that devastation
Trail well tell the lord above
She’s got a brand of love
That cannot fail
I’m hanging on to my peace of mind
That’s no lie
I’m hanging on to my special friend
The apple of my eye
My inspiration, too
She’s got a lead on my heart and
My soul and she knows just what to do
Oh, i just don’t know, no ,no, no, no
No, i get so low, and my mind’s about to go
But wait a minute, here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way down along that devastation
Trail
Well, let the fires burn, let the
Floods return
We will prevail
Hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don’t know
I’m hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don’t know
I’m hanging on to those good times, baby
Just want to let them roll
I’m gonna make it to the light and joy
I’ll tell you why
I got a woman who can take me there
the apple of my eye
oh, I just don’t know, no no, no, no
I love her so
Don’t let me see that morning paper
cause I don’t need those dues
it’s just the same old murder movie
but they call it the news
I’ll tell you what would be some story
and what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
that just happened to me, oh,
I just don’t know, no, no, no, no
I’ll never let her go

Before the morning comes, will i hear your song
Come little nightingale, i won’t be here for long
When you’re up there flying, do you care
If there’s no one else around?
When your lover leaves you in the air
Do you waver, do you fall?
Now while the moon is high
Shall we, nightingale,
Duet all through the night
A pair of souls for sale
Stars cluster glistening
Captive till the dawn
Patiently listening
They’ve heard it all before
Should i stay here or should i go?
I couldn’t bear to be alone
Was it really love i saw?
Oh, now i’ll never know
What is this i hear?
I recognise that song
Sweet little nightingale i knew you’d come along
Soon when the morning comes.
We will both be gone
So sing pretty nightingale
Lead, i’ll follow on.
And i will flail under these lights that seep down from the bitter sky tonight
And i will kick and beat my wrists together and feel an ocean breathing waves, feel them licking at my face.
Ceilings don’t exist and there are no floors beneath me.
If i were king of this night, would you become my queen?
And i hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I’ll do everything i can to keep you by my side
And i’ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before i go.
I’ll have to walk a thousand miles just to find the ground deserving of your feet.
You could throw me down and walk on me and i’d just look on through my love and through the haze.
And i hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I’ll do everything i can to keep you by my side
And i’ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before i go.
The nightingales are singing now.
They’re calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees.
Their jewelery is thrown into the air.
They sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground.
The trumpets call out now.
We’re home at last.
And i hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I’ll do everything i can to keep you by my side
And i’ll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before i go.

Sings a sad song for lonely women
Sings about women to lonely men
Sings a peace song to a soldier
Sings about loneliness to a friend
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
Sings a melody to haunt you
And some words to make you cry
If you’re sad she’ll make you happy
When you’re down she’ll take you high
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
She’s a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
She’s a song singer from her heart
I can’t sleep tonight
Wide awake and so confused
Eveything’s in line
But I am bruised
I need a voice to echo
I need a light to take me home
I kinda need a hero
Is it you?
I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby, I’m a little blind
I think it’s time for you to find me
Can you be my nightingale?
Sing to me, I know you’re there
You could be my sanity
Bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you’ll be my nightingale
Somebody speak to me
Cause I’m feeling like hell
Need you to answer me
I’m overwhelmed
I need a voice to echo
I need a light to take me home
I need a star to follow, I don’t know
I never see the forest for the trees
I could really use your melody
Baby, I’m a little blind
I think it’s time for you to find me
Can you be my nightingale?
Sing to me, I know you’re there
You could be my sanity
Bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you’ll be my nightingale
I dont know what I’d do without you
Your words are like a whisper, come through
As long as you’re with me here tonight, I’m good
Can you be my nightingale?
Feel so close, I know you’re there
Ooooh, nightingale
Sing to me, I know you’re there
Cause, baby, you’re my sanity
You bring me peace
Sing me to sleep
Say you’ll be my nightingale
Oh
(Uh, uh)
I’ve been thinking about you lately
I can’t get you off my mind
I’m trying to get to you know you baby
let’s start off by what’s your name
So many things I want to tell you
so many things I want to share
can’t wait till the day you come back
so we can chill and exchange words
If I were a nightingale
If I were a nightingale
I’ve been thinking about you lately
I can’t get you off my mind
I’m trying to get to you know you baby
let’s start off by what’s your name (by what’s your name) (4x)
So many things I want to tell you
so many things I want to share
can’t wait till the day you come back
so we can chill and exchange words
So many things I want to tell you
so many things I want to share
can’t wait till the day you come back
so we can chill and exchange words
