The Nightingale

fly my little nightingale
and take this song i give 
to the land where genies 
and magic carpets live

hide yourself very well
and you will not be seen
but before the dawn becomes the day
proclaim my love with screems

fly my little nightingale
into her ear, into her heart
tell her i am always near
and will never ever depart

hide yourself within her dreams
and own from dusk till dawn
but when she leaves begin your screams
your mourning while she's gone
