Oh Nightingale

Oh nightingale Sing a song for me A song filled With a joyous sorrow As only you can sing Oh nightingale I have built a perch for you Carved of a soft red cedar To make it easy to hold And polished it To a bright shine So it will be smooth to touch Oh nightingale Please choose your notes Very carefully So I might fall asleep Under the big Harvest moon Please Sing softly Oh nightingale Your song is a clever trap As I cannot resist its beauty Each note Is more beautiful Than the one before Until without warning I am trapped by the song Of such a simple creature
