I built my house beside the wood So I could hear you singing And it was sweet and it was good And love was all beginning Fare thee well my nightingale ′Twas long ago I found you Now all your songs of beauty fail The forest closes ′round you The sun goes down behind a veil ′Tis now that you would call me So rest in peace my nightingale Beneath your branch of holly Fare thee well my nightingale I lived but to be near you Tho′ you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you
how long have you been free in this world of hate and greed is it black or is it white let′s find another compromise
and our future´s standing still we′re dancing in the spotlight where is the leader who leads me i′m still waiting ...
leaving home ... and god is on your side dividing sparrows from the nightingales watching all the time dividing water from the burning fire ... inside
and god is on your side dividing cruelty from tenderness watching all the time dividing fiction from reality
move in circles walk on lines no human being in sight calm the winds and calm the seas let´s try another kind of peace who fights this holy civil war a million men in uniform wo ist der führer der mich führt? ich warte immer noch ...!
and god is on your side dividing presence from our history watching all the time dividing deaf men from the listening ones
leave a light on in the night for me, that i can find you remember when we both where young and reckless and so curious ...
now you′re hiding from your child ... a new day′s dawning remember that you felt alive, sometimes ...
and god is on your side dividing soldiers from the fisherman watching all the time dividing warships from the ferryboats
I can’t sleep tonight, wide awake and so confused Eveything is 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 im 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 dont 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 Ohhhh 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
