Nightingale Lyrics by Wilder Adkins

Runaround

2013

[Verse 1]
Lately I go walking though I got no place to go
There's cobwebs in my head and there are puddles on the road
I see a window woman laying flowers on a grave
To think that he was young like me only yesterday
[Chorus]
And oh the light is fading
And oh the day is done
Oh I am still waiting till we shall be as one
[Verse 2]
I see a pretty neighbor girl, she’s ready for a dance
Braids all done up in her hair, she's thinkin' about romance
I see her father staring as the two drive out of sight
I hope that he will have her home long before midnight
[Chorus]
And oh the light is fading
And oh the day is done
Oh I am still waiting till we shall be as one
[Verse 3]
Lord I want to call her, but I don’t know what to say
Just to let her know that she is on my mind today
Well if I do there is a chance I might just die of fright
And if I don't I guess that I'll be lying awake tonight
[Chorus]
And oh the light is fading
And oh the day is done
Oh I am still waiting till we shall be as one
[Verse 4]
Nightingale, she follows me, I wander to the stream
Stick my toes down in the mud, then watch as they wash clean
Make me over, make me new
Oh make me what you please
Well I was on my deathbed, now I got new breath in me
[Chorus]
And oh the light is fading
And oh the day is done
Oh I am still waiting till we shall be as one
[Outro]
And oh the light is fading
And oh the day is done
Oh I am still waiting till we shall be as one, we shall be as one
