Nightingales

Hark the beauty of its song
Stopping those of days so long
Washing me of all my sins
To heal that of all my kin

To stop the devil that arose each day
To claim its victory upon its pray
And brought the angel to its form
To calm the hatred of the storm

And listen as it draws so near
The beauty more than ever clear
Its lovely form the soul of art
The world races, as does my heart

And what is it that I ought to say?
When feeling just this way
And is there anything I ought to do?
For a sunset's meaningless without you

Its nothing to your gentle touch
Or to the words we mean so much
Or even of those of freezing breeze
We only say, to play and tease

I long for you to stay and wait
Forget the ones who would debate
They cannot know what we share
Or the way we cannot help but stare

And with this lonely view I'll stay
To wait for you where we can lay
Together with the ocean's sound
And cast the furls of love unbound

And the stars will light our darkened way
Though come what will and come what may
Shall always will we have the other
To burden all of one another

And in the night, if you are gone
I'll sit and listen till the early dawn
To the nightingale I know you've heard
The prettiest and most lovely bird

Now listen close and listen well
Its song says all I wish to tell
Now close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Till the day I die I mean "I do"
