Nightingale’s Song

Waking up every morn
Feeling silent call of longing
To someone I never met
Whisper of right and wrong
Silence remains in every word

Pagan dance on the altar of my holy love
Burnt letters faded with cold wind from North

A girl locked in the cage
Walking with her dreams
Lost in deep fantasies
A girl locked in the cage
Longing for sad song of a nightingale
Flying free above the sky
Singing for her every night
A girl locked in the cage
Lost to the world
Tiny star unborn

Writing deep songs
Of dreams and feelings
Pulling tighter the strings
Do you believe in what you feel?
A secret dream never seen

Farewell on the withered paper
Wings burnt to dust faded in flame
My lovelorn became your verse once born

A girl locked in the cage
Walking with her dreams
Lost in deep fantasies
A girl locked in the cage
Longing for sad song of a nightingale…

She hoped and prayed
She wished to stay
To spend one day
In those embrace
Of bare grace
Lost in the night
Silence dwells
End of innocence

Kind heart, lonely soul
A song never born
Fallen angel rests on my porch
Dream casts away with pale dawn

A girl locked in the cage
Walking with her dreams
Lost in deep fantasies
A girl locked in the cage
Longing for sad song of a nightingale
Flying free above the sky
Singing for her every night
A girl locked in the cage
Lost to the world
Tiny star unborn

Lost in the night
Silence dwells
End of innocence
