Love is knowing
When to stop the fight
All around me
I can feel the night
Silence building
Heavy in the air
Silence building

And the nightingale
Sings a lonely tale
Yes, the nightingale
Has a lonely tale
To tell
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya

Love is leaving
Leaving space to breathe
Meant forever
That was you and me
Heard a whisper
There's no guarantees
All that's left is
A song for you to sing

And the nightingale
Sings a lonely tale
Yes, the nightingale
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Has a lonely tale
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
To tell

Long enough to break your heart
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
And the nightingale
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Sings a lonely tale
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Yes, the nightingale
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Ba ba ya, ba ba ba ya
Has a lonely tale
