Nightingale, won’t you stay?
If you get too high you’ll float away
Your voice still has so much more to say
The best of them burn out instead of fading away
Their sound makes the biggest wave
Love is blind you couldn’t see
How much love you had yet to keep
How much love for you was had
Know you were no good
Better than that
You outstood
Love was a flame
Downward Spiral
Toxic fame
Warm gun
Losing game
Fading back to black
Final Frame
Sung from the soul
Too much fuel for the fire
All consuming out of control
Too bright
Lights blinded
Nightingale cannot see, cannot sing
Clipped your feathers
Fly away on your little wing
Nightingale, you need respite
Nightingale, don’t give up
You still have so much fight
Don’t let the flashes outshine your light
Nightingale can’t you see?
How your song has set me free
Shattered that which fettered
With just a brush of your feathers
Nightingale so beautifully broken
Sentence given ere any words were spoken
Nightingale, your wine and wail
Sent me flying with the force of a gale
Nightingale when I was too weak to move on
I was saved by your song
Nightingale I wish I could have given a fraction of what you gave
Your voice, your words had the power to save
If only your effect
Could be reflected
Imperfectly perfect
Don’t know how much you affected
Oh Nightingale
You flew away today
I’m struggling to find the words to say
Want to scream stay
But it’s far too late
You’ve gone away
Nightingale needed someone to love
Nightingale please hear my plea
Hope you’ll be someone to watch over me
Nightingale, to know you was to love you
Wrap your wings around the moon
Nightingale sung so proud, gone too soon
Your echo will never fade away
Grateful for what you gave
To tread the path that you paved
The reverb of your sound
Nightingale, if you were lost
I hope peace you now have found
