Nightingale - The Hit Co.

Like some night

Bird homeward wingin'

He seeks the sheltered nest

Like the sailor's lost horizon

He needs some place to rest

The songs that

He's been singin'

No longer make much sense

And those stranger's

Cold perceptions

They've killed

His confidence

Nightingale, she sails

Away upon a sea of song

Nightingale,

She serenades his lonely,

Lonely life along

When his tired voice is broken,

His golden hope is gone

She makes a lost

Soul's simple longing,

Somehow not so wrong

Nightingale, nightingale

He was strong,

But he was taken

By the thought of his success

Those spotlights shadows

How they lured him

And took him like all the rest

But that old dream

Don't look good now

No it don't seem quite the same

He needs to hear a tender word

Won't you sing him home again?

Nightingale, she sails

Away up on a sea of song

Nightingale,

She serenades his lonely,

Lonely life along

When his strength is slowly

Going his pride

Is all but gone

She makes a foolish dreamer

Listen to one last song

Nightingale ooh sing

Sweet nightingale

Oh, na, na, na, na, na

Nightingale,

Oh nightingale,

Oh nightingale
