Nightbird Lyrics - Eva Cassidy

Some old hotel room in Memphis 

I see the city through the rain 

I'm just chasing me my time 

And remembering some pain 

See there once was a boy 

And on the street he'd surely die 

So the nightbird took him in 

And she taught him how to fly 

See the nightbird softly fly 

Why does she fly alone? 

Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory? 

Now she's gone

Two bit bars and honky tonks 

Any pleasure can be found 

You can get just what you want 

If you lay your money down 

And lonely sailors do their drinking 

My, my, my how the brave men do die 

And the nightbird sells her pleasures 

Bringing tears to my eyes 

See the nightbird softly fly 

Why does she fly alone 

Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory 

Now she's gone 

So I guess I'll go out walking 

Lord, let the rain keep falling down 

I guess I'll go chase some memories 

On the dark side of town

See the nightbird softly fly

Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory
