Nightingale Lyrics - Laura Veirs

Nightingale sing 

Though it's blacker than the bog 

Nightingale sing to me 

I need to hear your song 

Nightingale come 

And perch upon my tree 

A terrifying light's 

Been flashing over me 

I would not bear to rest 

I could not dare to dream 

Til the nightingale came 

And sang a song for me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

She'll sing above the blasts 

And the clothing singed by fire 

She'll sing above the black smoke 

Rising from the funeral pyre 

Her heart a field in bloom 

Her heart a sacred snow 

Her heart a mirror blinding 

All the greedy as they go 

I would not bear to rest 

I could not dare to dream 

Til the nightingale came 

And sang a song for me

I cannot help but want 

To solder all the parts 

Solder back together 

All the shattered hearts 

Nightingale come 

And perch upon my tree 

The terrifying night's 

Been crashing over me 

I would not bear to rest 

I could not dare to dream 

Til the nightingale came 

And sang a song for me
