Subject: Lyr Add: Nightingale (Cohen/Thomas) From: Genie Date: 30 Aug 11 - 09:05 PM NIGHTINGALE Dedicated to Carl Anderson (1945-2004) Music by Leonard Cohen and Anjani Thomas, lyrics by Leonard Cohen 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, 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. |
