[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
[02:13.92]
