[00:00.68] I built my house beside the wood
[00:05.75] So I could hear you singing
[00:10.61] And it was sweet and it was good
[00:15.49] And love was all beginning
[00:20.58] Fare thee well my nightingale
[00:25.68] 'Twas long ago I found you
[00:30.83] Now all your songs of beauty fail
[00:35.69] The forest closes 'round you
[00:40.86]
[00:50.62] The sun goes down behind a veil
[00:55.67] 'Tis now that you would call me
[01:00.52] So rest in peace my nightingale
[01:05.72] Beneath your branch of holly
[01:10.50] Fare thee well my nightingale
[01:15.54] 'Twas long ago I found you
[01:20.38] Now all your songs of beauty fail
[01:25.45] The forest closes 'round you
[01:30.76]
[01:50.83] Fare thee well my nightingale
[01:55.56] I lived but to be near you
[02:00.55] Tho' you are singing somewhere still
[02:05.56] I can no longer hear you
