Nightingale Come Sail Lyrics

Jimmie Spheeris Nightingale Come Sail

Old black keys, come on, serenade me
Sweep me up and let me go
Nightingale once sailed by my window
Now where she's gone I just don't know
Her sweet song is gone with the winter
And it chills me to the bone
Nightingale come sail to my sorrow
Come home
Come sail me home

Summer wind come on back and soothe me
I feel like I'm getting old
They tell me that the dream is all over
Where it's gone I sure don't know
Still, somehow, amid all our suffering
A light shines where you have flown
Nightingale come sail to our sorrow
Come home
Come sail us home
