Lyrics

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
It 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
It's now that you would call me
So rest in peace my nightingale
Beneath your branch of holly
Fare thee well my nightingale
It 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
Tho' you are singing somewhere still
I can no longer hear you
Written by: Anjani Thomas, Leonard Cohen
