Nightingale Lyrics
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
'Twas long ago, I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes around you
The sun goes down behind a veil
'Tis now when 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 around 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
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
'Twas long ago, I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes around you
'Tis now when you would call me
So rest in peace, my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
'Twas long ago, I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes around you
I lived but to be near you
Though you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
