Nightingale Lyrics - Roxy Music

Before the morning comes 

Will I hear your song? 

Come little nightingale 

I won't be here for long 

When you're up there flying 

Do you care 

If there's no one else around? 

When your lover leaves you 

In the air 

Do you waver, do you fall? 

Now, while the moon is high 

Shall we, nightingale 

Duet all through the night? 

A pair of souls for sale 

Stars cluster glistening 

Captive till the dawn 

Patiently listening 

They've heard it all before 

Should I stay here or should I go? 

I couldn't bear to be alone 

Was it really love I saw? 

Oh, now I'll never know 

What is this I hear? 

Recognize that song 

Sweet little nightingale 

I knew you'd come along 

Soon when the morning comes 

We will both be gone 

So sing pretty nightingale 

Lead, I'll follow on
