Riding The Nightingale

Dyin' mama, barely breathin' in a bed of nails

To wander through the ruin smokin' and pale

Came upon an angel and a nightingale

Back where the darkness comes

Between the earth and skies above

Dead weight on my body's bones

I think I dug too deep a hole

Think I dug too deep a hole

Better run for cover babe, you better hide

Don't do no good to wait 'til time decides

Time decides, time, time

I need a little more time

Riding on my nightingale

So many years to, to ride

Hiding on my nightingale around my heart

Climbing down the stairs at last

I wouldn't touch me right

You're too proud and I'm too scared

And I'm neither here nor there

It's only fear, we'll open up the doors

And let me breathe that air

Better run for cover babe, you better hide

Just don't do to wait 'til time decides

Time decides, time, time

I need a little more time

Mama, I'm gonna cry now, cry

I'm gonna cry now, oh, you're makin' me cry

Now cry, I'm gonna cry now, oh, no, no

No, no, no, I'm gonna cry, cry, I'm gonna die cryin'

Better run for cover babe, you'd better hide

Just don't to wait 'til time decides

Tied around my nightingale

So many years to, to hide

Fly my nightingale around my heart

Who's riding on my nightingale?

Who's riding on my nightingale?

Who's riding on my nightingale?

Who's riding on my nightingale?

Who's riding on my nightingale?

Who's riding on my nightingale?

Who's riding on my nightingale?
