Where the Nightingales Sing Songtext

von Alan Doyle

Meet me at midnight
When the kingdom's asleep
And the guards of the palace
Have long been at ease

Once out the window
Follow my steps
Till us and our shadows
Are all that is left.

And we'll lift off our armour
And let the moonlight steal in
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing

Long past surrender
The bar sets the stage
With a single-star spotlight
Where the leads of the play

Our story's unscripted
In this secret show
We'll draw back the curtains
And see where it goes

And let our hearts take their places
Let the night pull the strings
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing

Meet me at midnight
Same old sweet song
Tonight and tomorrow
And on and on

Stay with me, stay with me
Love serenade
As long as we stand
And the band wants to play

And when the last waltz is over
And the next one begins
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing
Lay me down, lay me down
Where the nightingales sing
