nightingale

Singer: collins, judy

jacob's heart bent with fear

like a bow with death for its arrow;

in vain he search for the final truth

to set his soul free of doubt. over the mountains he walked

with his head bent searching for reasons;

then he called out to god

for help and climbed to the top of a hill. wind swept the sunlight through the wheat fields

in the orchard the nightingale sang

while the plums that she broke with her brown beak

tomorrow would turn in to songs. then she flew up through the rain

with the sun silver bright on her feathers

jacob put back his frowns and sighed and walked

back down the hill. god doesn't answer me and

he never will
