Nightingale

Lisa Ekdahl · Sings Salvadore Poe [2000]

If a bird sat down upon my shoulder

Would I know if it's a sparrow?

Just as well now it could be a nightingale

If I had the wealth of all the universe

Would I be a pharaoh?

Just as well now I could use my

Might to sail away

I know everything seems so real

I know we're on a spinning wheel

I know it would be so nice, almost paradise

If you and I just sit together

If you listen close enough

My song will hit you surer than an arrow

Then you'll hear me singing like a

Nightingale at play, at play
