Gabriel Lyr/Chords Req: Nightingale (Sandra Bernhard) (4) ...and the Nightingale says, '... 01 Nov 99


I went to a 'gathering of hippies' the other day (that's what they called it) and I heard the most awesome song. The opening lyrics are as such:

"Standing by a wishing well
I heard a Nightingale
Telling of all the love
That waits for me.

And as I turned away
She sang "Won't you please stay
Open your eyes
You'll be amazed at what you see"

ch: Oh, won't you stay
for another day,
another day won't you stay

(I'm not sure about this part)
I ran so fast and fell
From heaven with the Nightingale
Afraid of a love that could never be.

And as I turned to leave
She sang, "Won't you please believe
Open your heart
You'll be amazed at what you feel".

I believe that that is how it went. I have been looking since for any info on the song and any help by anyone would be greatly appreciated. I do know that it was a cover and not a original as the singer said so before she began to sing.

Can anyone please help me, as, yes, even us PunkRockers have a soft side.

Thanks!!

Gabriel
