Nightingale I Lyrics - Judy Collins

Jacob's heart bent with fear 

Like a bow with death for its arrow 

In Vain he search for the final truth 

To set his soul free of doubt 

Over the mountains he walked 

With his head bent searching for reasons 

Then he called out to God 

For help and climbed to the top of a hill 

Wind swept the sunlight through the wheat fields 

In the orchard the nightingale sang 

While the plums that she broke with her brown beak 

Tomorrow would turn in to songs 

Then she flew up through the rain 

With the sun silver bright on her feathers 

Jacob put back his frowns and sighed and walked 

Back down the hill
