Momus - The Nightingale lyrics
[Momus - The Nightingale lyrics]
A nightingale is twittering in the
Hearth if you have ears
If you disturb the peace then
The police get very fierce
And in the creases of your blanket
There lurks a face, if you have eyes
The jailor shoots you on the chase
If you're a jailbird flying from that place
(Good luck to him that tries)
The perfume of the East lives in a tree
And giant mountains reach to touch the sky
Like mother's lips
A breeze will touch your hand
A dish will taste to you like children's sand
The worries of this world are crushing you
And yet our earth is such a friendly star
Come tell me what your problems are?
You wish to be rich?
Well, isn't that what you are?
Hearth if you have ears
If you disturb the peace then
The police get very fierce
And in the creases of your blanket
There lurks a face, if you have eyes
The jailor shoots you on the chase
If you're a jailbird flying from that place
(Good luck to him that tries)
The perfume of the East lives in a tree
And giant mountains reach to touch the sky
Like mother's lips
A breeze will touch your hand
A dish will taste to you like children's sand
The worries of this world are crushing you
And yet our earth is such a friendly star
Come tell me what your problems are?
You wish to be rich?
Well, isn't that what you are?
