Lyrics Nightingale

Nightingale

One Way Ticket

He always tried to seize the day

Now he let it slip away

Shining sun or falling rain

Doesn't matter anymore

Another boring day begins

Already knows how it will end

And now he's losing faith in you

You used to guide him

You showed the way the he should follow

He built a world upon your promise

He would be saved

He's all alone, no one to hold

When the nights are long and cold

He prayed to you for some relief

For some reward for his belief

He tried so hard to do it right

Saw the world in black and white

But now it's fading into grey

He feel temptation

He's never had a night of passion

Or numbed his mind with the firewater

Never felt alive

Oh he's lost again

Now the world will see

Another soul led astray

Another destiny thrown away

The one way ticket in his trembling hand

Is the testimony to the tragedy

Was he never meant to be

never meant to be

He boarded the plane towards the end

A grave among the neon lights

Realized his wildest dreams

In a drunken, hazy night

He sold his life and the money made

Spent it all on the last crusade

His celebration of the end

The one's who found him

Said he smiled and looked so peaceful

And in his hand he held a letter

It said... "No one came"

I hope you're happy in the world beyond

That you find what you need

That you get what you want

The world has lost again

And no one will see

Another soul led astray

Another destiny thrown away

The final letter in his lifeless hand

Is the testimony to the tragedy

Was he never meant to be?
