[00:08.696] I built my house beside the wood
[00:16.154] So I could hear you singing
[00:23.789] And it was sweet and it was good
[00:30.357] And love was all beginning
[00:38.005] Fare thee well my nightingale
[00:45.744] 'T was long ago I found you
[00:53.582] Now all your songs of beauty fail
[01:00.276] The forest closes 'round you
[01:14.740] The sun goes down behind a veil
[01:21.946] 'Tis now that you would call me
[01:29.281] So rest in peace my nightingale
[01:35.948] Beneath your branch of holly
[01:44.475] Fare thee well my nightingale
[01:50.808] 'T was long ago I found you
[01:59.258] Now all your songs of beauty fail
[02:05.823] The forest closes 'round you
[02:13.847] Fare thee well my nightingale
[02:21.442] I lived but to be near you
[02:29.270] Though you are singing somewhere still
[02:35.856] I can no longer hear you

I built my house beside the wood
So I could hear you singing
And it was sweet and it was good
And love was all beginning
Fare thee well my nightingale
'T was long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you
The sun goes down behind a veil
'Tis now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare thee well my nightingale
'T was long ago I found you
Now all your songs of beauty fail
The forest closes 'round you
Fare thee well my nightingale
I lived but to be near you
Though you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
