Nightingale by Leonard Cohen

Nightingale Lyrics

edit | print 
(Leonard Cohen and Anjani Thomas)

[Dedicated to Carl Anderson (1945-2004)]

I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well my nightingale
'Twas long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail<a href="http://www.testimania.com/">Testi Canzoni</a>
The forest closes 'round you
The sun goes down behind a veil
'Tis now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare thee well my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
Love this song? Put this box on your blog!
Lyrics
