Nightbird lyrics
Song information
Artist: Eva Cassidy Album: Eva By Heart
Lyrics
Some old hotel room in memphis I see the city through the rain I'm just chasing me my time And remembering some pain
See there once was a boy And on the street he'd surely die But the nightbird took him in And she taught him how to fly
See the nightbird softly fly Why does she fly alone? Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory? Now she's gone
Two bit bars and honky tonks Any pleasure can be found You can get just what you want If you lay your money down
And loney sailors do their drinking My, my, my how the brave men do die And the nightbird sells her pleasures Bringing tears to my eyes
See the nightbird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory Now she's gone
So I guess I'll go out walking Lord, let the rain keep falling down I guess I'll go chase some memories On the dark side of town
See the nightbird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame for her memory Now she's gone
