Nightingale Songtext
von God Street Wine

Hey young girl staring at me
Smiling so mysteriously
Your eyes so shiny and your lips so red
Do you know this tune playing in my head
Hey Cordelia don′t you frown
Though your daddy went crazy and your house burned down
I'm gonna make everything alright
I′m singing just for you tonight

I got a tune running through my head
And it won't go away
Singing to me softly
Singing to me day after day
And I want you darling
And I don't want nobody but you
We can jam in the daylight
We can jam the whole night through, whole night through


Cause I need someone to turn me on
Someone to wake beside at dawn
Someone to sing my song
And be my Nightingale, be my Nightingale
Someone to kiss beneath the moon
And sleep with in the afternoon
Someone to sing my tune
And be my Nightingale, be my Nightingale

Well hey Cordelia don′t you cry
Your face so fine and your body so shy
England in the rain is no place to be
Go find your lover out across the sea
Girl do you hear the music playing
Do you understand what the singer is saying
And these visions that we both have seen
Baby can you tell me just what they mean?

I got a tune running through my head
That I want you to hear
Play it for you darling
For your sisters and the good King Lear
And I been dreaming of a day
When the sun will shine again
Shine on through your lightning
Shine on through your thunder and rain


Cause I need someone to turn me on
Someone to wake beside at dawn
Someone to sing my song
And be my Nightingale, be my Nightingale
Someone to kiss beneath the moon
And sleep with in the afternoon
Someone to sing my tune
And be my Nightingale, come on and be my Nightingale

So won′t you listen to the band
And won't you try to understand
And won′t you let me be your fool
And hold you by the hand
And sing until I see that you are smiling
