A                              G 
Nightingale, sing us a song 
D                              A 
Of a love that once belonged 
A                              G 
Nightingale, tell me your tale 
D                              A 
Was your journey far too long? 
  
Couplet 
  
               G              D 
 Does it seem like I’m looking for an answer 
A              G 
To a question I can’t ask 
D                              A        
I don’t know which way the feather falls 
G                              D 
Or I should blow it to the left 
  
  
Refrain 
  
Couplet 2 
  
All the voices that are spinning around me 
Trying to tell me what to say 
Can I fly right behind you 
And you can take me away 
  
  
Refrain
