Nightingale
Flight of Love: A Nightingale's Serenade in the Moonlit Sky
Lyrics
Before the morning comes, will I hear your song
Anticipation and uncertainty about hearing a song before morning.
Come little nightingale, I won't be here for long
The speaker addresses a nightingale, expressing a short stay.
When you're up there flying, do you care
Questioning if the nightingale cares while flying high.
If there's no one else around?
Asking if the nightingale minds solitude in the absence of others.
When your lover leaves you in the air
Wondering how the nightingale reacts when its lover abandons it.
Do you waver, do you fall?
Exploring whether the nightingale falters or falls in such situations.
Now while the moon is high
Setting the scene with a high moon and addressing the nightingale.
Shall we, nightingale,
Inviting the nightingale to duet through the night.
Duet all through the night
Proposing a shared musical experience as souls are metaphorically for sale.
A pair of souls for sale
Reflecting on the transient nature of connection and relationships.
Stars cluster glistening
Describing the beauty of clustered stars, awaiting the dawn.
Captive till the dawn
Stars held captive until morning arrives.
Patiently listening
Listening patiently, indicating familiarity with the nightingale's song.
They've heard it all before
Suggesting that the stars have heard the nightingale's song before.
Should I stay here or should I go?
The speaker contemplates whether to stay or leave.
I couldn't bear to be alone
Expressing an aversion to loneliness, preferring not to be alone.
Was it really love I saw?
Questioning if what was perceived as love was genuine.
Oh, now I'll never know
Regretting the uncertainty and the impossibility of knowing the truth.
What is this I hear?
Noticing a familiar song and recognizing the nightingale's arrival.
I recognize that song
Identifying the nightingale's song.
Sweet little nightingale I knew you'd come along
Welcoming the nightingale, anticipating its presence.
Soon when the morning comes.
Anticipating the departure of both the speaker and the nightingale in the morning.
We will both be gone
Predicting that both the speaker and the nightingale will be gone by morning.
So sing pretty nightingale
Encouraging the nightingale to sing beautifully.
Lead, I'll follow on.
Expressing a willingness to follow the nightingale's lead.
