Gilberto Gil - Nightingale

Nightingale

I saw a comet in the sky
Caught it by the tail
When I held it in my hand
It was a nightingale
It was a nightingale

I was happy and took him home
He was hurt and so alone
Water, love and seeds
Those were all his needs
In about a week or so
He was fit to go

He sang a ting, ling, ling, ling, bird song
A swinging, ling, ling, ling, long melody
He sang a ting, ling, ling, ling rock song
A swinging, ling, ling, ling, long song for me

One day at daybreak
He said good-bye
He flew up and he was like
A comet in the sky
A comet in the sky
