Nightingale from Soul Parade by Jesse DeNatale

NIGHTINGALE

There goes sweet Mary
She’s stepin through the blue
I watched her slip away
Down angel avenue

Come out the blue jay
And the butterfly
When I had to wave

And had to say goodbye
Well listen to that nightingale

Callin everybody with a brand new song
Carry love in a golden pail

Cause everybody one day will be Rainbow gone

There stands the mayor
Standin on the green
Statuesque and sturdy
Through everything he’s seen
Some go forever
And some will quickly pass

But everything comes back
When your laid beneath the grass
Well listen to that nightingale
Callin everybody just to sing along
Carry love in a golden pail
Everybody one day will be Rainbow gone

I knew Miss Violet

She took you in the dark
She made your knees buckle
She made your heart spark
She says “Slim

There’s nothin that you lack
And when you go away

I will be wearin black”
Well listen to that nightingale
She’s had to sing just to get along
She’s got love in a golden pail
And everybody one day will be Rainbow gone

Well here comes the devil
Walkin through the dirt

His eyes are full of anger
And he’s smilein at your hurt
Well you lost your honey
And then you lost your head
You woke up on the sidewalk
And your seein red
Well hail the rain

Yeah the morning rain

Wash away the morning

Till your feelin strong

Carry love in a golden pail
Cause everybody one day will be Rainbow gone

Well here comes my baby

Walkin in the sun

What I wanna know is
What I’ve ever done

I’m more than lucky

With the hand I hold
I’m watchin as she’s fillin up
Her pot of gold.
Well listen to that nightingale
Callin everybody

With a brand new song

She’s got love in a golden pail
And everybody one day will be Rainbow gone
Rainbow gone Rainbow gone
Rainbow gone Yeah Rainbow gone
