Nightingale lyrics

Artist  : Carole King 
Song : Nightingale



 Send "Nightingale" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

Like some night bird homeward wingin
He seeks
the sheltered nest
Like the sailor's lost
horizon,
He needs some place to rest
The
songs that he's been singin'
No longer make
much sense
And those stranger's cold
perceptions
They've killed his
confidence
Nightingale, she sails away upon a
sea of song
Nightingale, SHE SERENADES HIS
LONELY, LONELY LIFE ALONG
When his tired voice
is broken
His golden hope is gone
She makes
a lost soul's simple longing
somehow not so
wrong
Nightingale, nightingale

He was
strong, but he was taken
By the thought of his
success
Those spotlights shadows
How they
lured him and took him like all the rest
But
that old dream don't look good now
No it don't
seem quite the same
He needs to hear a tender
word
Won't you sing him home
again
Nightingale, she sails away up on a sea
of song
Nightingale, she serenades his lonely,
lonely life along
When his strength is slowly
going,
His pride is all but gone
She makes
a foolish dreamer listen to one last
song
Nightingale ooh sing sweet
nightingale
Oh, na, na, na, na
Nightingale
ooh sing sweet
nightingale






In my
little town
I grew up believing
God keeps
his eye on us all
And he used to lean upon
me
As I pledged allegiance to the wall
Lord
I recall my little town
Coming home after
school
Riding my bike past the gates of the
factories
My mom doing the laundry
Hanging
out shirts in the dirty breeze
And after it
rains there's a rainbow
And all of the colors
are black
It's not that the colors aren't
there
It's just imagination they
lack
Everything's the same back in my little
town

In my little town I never meant
nothing
I was just my father's son
Saving
my money
Dreamin of glory
Twitching like a
finger on a trigger of a gun

Nothing but
the dead and dying back in my little
town
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my
little town
Nothing but the dead and dying back
in my little town
