| [00:00.68] |
I built my house beside the wood |
| [00:05.75] |
So I could hear you singing |
| [00:10.61] |
And it was sweet and it was good |
| [00:15.49] |
And love was all beginning |
| [00:20.58] |
Fare thee well my nightingale |
| [00:25.68] |
'Twas long ago I found you |
| [00:30.83] |
Now all your songs of beauty fail |
| [00:35.69] |
The forest closes 'round you |
| [00:40.86] |
|
| [00:50.62] |
The sun goes down behind a veil |
| [00:55.67] |
'Tis now that you would call me |
| [01:00.52] |
So rest in peace my nightingale |
| [01:05.72] |
Beneath your branch of holly |
| [01:10.50] |
Fare thee well my nightingale |
| [01:15.54] |
'Twas long ago I found you |
| [01:20.38] |
Now all your songs of beauty fail |
| [01:25.45] |
The forest closes 'round you |
| [01:30.76] |
|
| [01:50.83] |
Fare thee well my nightingale |
| [01:55.56] |
I lived but to be near you |
| [02:00.55] |
Tho' you are singing somewhere still |
| [02:05.56] |
I can no longer hear you |
