My Nightingale
Verse 1:
I met her on a road trip break in Johnson Corner, Georgia
Driving home from Jacksonville to Bordeaux, Tennessee
Too much booze and the birthday blues; cured by the smile she gave me
I knew this girl could save me, when she asked to hitch a ride
Chorus:
One more sweet voiced Nightingale, bound for Nashville with a dream
She had faith but I knew she needed someone to believe
So I told my brother and my best friend, I could not let her fail
I was going to find my Nightingale
I was going back to find my Nightingale
Verse 2:
She'd sang us through the starlight and the sharp cold snap of morning
The man in the moon was yawning but he wore a happy smile
She'd grabbed her bag and her guitar and whispered See you later
And I for one believed her, coz she had stole my heart
Chorus:
One more sweet voiced Nightingale, bound for Nashville with a dream
She had faith but I knew she needed someone to believe
So I told my brother and my best friend, I could not let her fail
I was going to find my Nightingale
I was going back to find my Nightingale
Bridge:
I found her singing softly, in a small backstreet caf
Her eyes fixed on her fingers; her body had lost its sway
Then she lifted her head and found me and my smile lit up her heart
She found her voice and blew that room apart
Chorus:
One more sweet voiced Nightingale, bound for Nashville with a dream
She had faith but I knew she needed someone to believe
So I told my brother and my best friend, I could not let her fail
I was going to find my Nightingale
I was going back to find my Nightingale
