Nightingale Lyrics
Just love these lyrics. How about you (?) Couldn't find her video of it on youtube, but gotta hear it. :)
Nightingale Lyrics Artist(Band):Carole King 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 strangers' 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 spotlight 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 upon a sea of song Nightingale She serenades his lonely, lonely life along When his strength is slowly goin' His pride is all but gone She makes a foolish dreamer listen To one last song Nightingale Nightingale |
Re: Nightingale Lyrics
Hmmm...did someone say Nightingale?
Hey Patti, love this song and yes, the lyrics are really pretty, aren't they? Carole King is such a talented songwriter. I still play "Tapestry" at least once a week...lol. That's a very old C.K. album. :) Anyway, thanks for posting this lovely song. I like it very much, too. |
Re: Nightingale Lyrics
You're welcome. I just happened to come across it. Glad I did. I don't know if I had ever heard the song before because unfortunately I never had one of her albums. :redface:
You know what, ... once about a year ago, I had a lovely dream about beautiful women making beautiful tapestries. That is very cool that you play her Tapestry album so often. |
Re: Nightingale Lyrics
Those might have been angels making those tapestries.
