Laura Veirs - Nightingale (live) lyrics

Nightingale sing Though it's blacker than the bog Nightingale sing to me I need to hear your song Nightingale come And perch upon my tree A terrifying light's Been flashing over me I would not bear to rest I could not dare to dream Til the nightingale came And sang a song for me She'll sing above the blasts And the clothing singed by fire She'll sing above the black smoke Rising from the funeral pyre Her heart a field in bloom Her heart a sacred snow Her heart a mirror blinding All the greedy as they go I would not bear to rest I could not dare to dream Til the nightingale came And sang a song for me I cannot help but want To solder all the parts Solder back together All the shattered hearts Nightingale come And perch upon my tree The terrifying night's Been crashing over me I would not bear to rest I could not dare to dream Til the nightingale came And sang a song for me
