[Verse 1]
Nightjar and the nightingale
I'm still awake because of you
Well, I guess that's what her kisses do
Oh-oh, we're sharing summer stories with the white eyed moon

[Verse 2]
There are dreamers in those chestnut trees
They sing to me life's mysteries
Like the keepsake of those memories
Oh-oh, of the long hot days and the honeybees

[Chorus]
Well, tell tale nightingale
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me

[Verse 3]
Well quick somebody hold my glass
I can't let it pass, it fades so fast
And I just want today to last
Oh-oh, and that surprising little spell she cast

[Verse 4]
We walked a mile and sat a while
In tawny grass, and we just laughed
And we listened to the summer birds
Oh-oh, they always seem to find the words
[Chorus]
Well, tell tale nightingale
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me
You've seen it all
You sing it better than me

[Instrumental]
