Saint Etienne – Nightingale Lyrics

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 guarantee
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
