Píseň: Nightingale

Interpret:

Album:
Dear Heather
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
'It was long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beautyful
The forest closes 'round you

'Tis now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare the well my nightingale
'It was long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beautyful
The forest closes 'round you


Fare thee well my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
