Fly on through the night wind, take a star to her for me
Please, whisper I love her, tell her wait for me
Here it seems so cold now, how I miss her arms around me
Soar, nightbird of love, make her wait for me
[Chorus]
Cause you have wings you know, I'll let you go, almost every night
But loneliness can dull the shine of even the bright moonlight
Nightbird fly, fly on
Nightbird, sing her my song
Oh, before you leave,
take this band of gold with you.
And if you can find her, tell her I am true
[Chorus]
Nightbird fly, fly on
Nightbird fly, fly on.
