Nightjar And The Nightingale

Nightjar and the nightingale

I'm still awake because of you

Well, I guess that's what her kisses do

Oh-oh, we're sharing summer stories with the white-eyed moon

And there are dreamers in those chestnut trees

They sing to me life's mysteries

Like the keepsake of those memories

Oh-oh, of the long hot days and the honeybees

Well, telltale nightingale

You've seen it all, you sing it better than me

You've seen it all, you sing it better than me

Well, quick, somebody hold my glass

I can't let it pass, it fades so fast

And I just want today to last

Oh-oh, and that surprising little spell she cast

We walked a mile and sat a while

In tawny grass and we just laughed

And we listened to the summer birds

Oh-oh, they always seem to find the words

Well, telltale nightingale

You've seen it all, you sing it better than me

You've seen it all, you sing it better than me
