          Gmaj7                Dmaj7                            Gmaj7                Dmaj7 
 Like some night bird, homeward wingin'. He seeks the sheltered nest 
          Gmaj7                Dmaj7          Gmaj7                Dmaj7 
Like the sailor's lost horizon. He needs some place to rest 
  A/B                                               G/A 
The songs that he's been singin'. No longer make much sense 
  G6                       F#m                               Em            A11                      
And those strangers' cold perceptions they've killed his confidence.

Nightingale. She sails away upon a sea of song 
      Dmaj7                                  Gmaj7 
Nightingale. She serenades his lonely, lonely life along 
          Em              Bm                         Em           Bm 
When his tired voice is broken, his golden hope is gone 
           Em                       Bm                            A11 
She makes a lost soul's simple longing, somehow not so wrong

He was strong, but he was taken. By the thought of his success 
      Gmaj7                          Dmaj7                              Gmaj7                      Dmaj7   
Those spotlight shadows, how they lured him and took him like all the rest 
     A/B                                                          G/A 
But that old dream don't look good now  no, it don't seem quite the same 
      G6            F#m                                 Em         A11 
He needs to hear a tender word, won't you sing him home again 
     Dmaj7                                Gmaj7 
Nightingale. She sails away upon a sea of song

Nightingale. She serenades his lonely, lonely life along 
          Em                Bm                         Em             Bm    
When his strength is slowly goin' his pride is all but gone 
       Em             Bm                               A11 
She makes a foolish dreamer listen to one last song
