Leonard Cohen Lyrics for Song: Nightingale
 Lyrics for Album: Complete Studio Albums Collection [2011]
 
 
 
 18751>I built my house beside the wood
 
 So I could hear you singing
 
 And it was sweet and it was good
 
 And love was all beginning
 
 Fare thee well my nightingale
 
 'Twas long ago I found you
 
 Now all your songs of beauty fail
 
 The forest closes 'round you
 
 
 
 The sun goes down behind a veil
 
 'Tis now that you would call me
 
 So rest in peace my nightingale
 
 Beneath your branch of holly
 
 Fare thee well my nightingale
 
 I lived but to be near you
 
 Tho' you are singing somewhere still
 
 I can no longer hear you
 
 18751>
