Jackson Browne - Nightingale lyrics

[Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 2] Oh, I just don't know, no no, no, no Oh, I love her so [Verse 2] Don't let me see that morning paper Because 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 [Chorus 2] Oh, I just don't know, no, no, no, no Oh, I'll never let her go, no, no, no [Verse 3] And every time I hear somebody Sneaking up behind Oh, I turn around but I still hear that sound And just when I'm about to lose my mind [Chorus 3] 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 [Chorus 1] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus 2] [Chorus 3] 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 And let the floods return, we will prevail [Outro] Hanging on to my peace of mind I just don't know
