Nightjar And The Nightingale Lyrics

Nightjar and the nightingale
I'm still awake because of you
Well, I guess that's what her kisses do
Oh-oh, we're sharing summer stories with the white eyed moon

There are dreamers in those chestnut trees
They sing to me life's mysteries
Like the keepsake of those memories
Oh-oh, of the long hot days and the honeybees

Well, tell tale nightingale
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me

Well quick somebody hold my glass
I can't let it pass, it fades so fast
And I just want today to last
Oh-oh, and that surprising little spell she cast

We walked a mile and sat a while
In tawny grass, and we just laughed
And we listened to the summer birds
Oh-oh, they always seem to find the words

Well, tell tale nightingale
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me
