Nightingale (Album Version)

Nightingale - Anjani

I built my house

Beside the wood

So I could hear your 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

Twas long ago I found you

Now all your songs of beauty fail

The forest closes round you

Fare thee well

My nightingale

I lived but to be near you

Though you are singing somewhere still

I can no longer hear you
