Nightingale

I’m hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don’t know
I’m hanging on to those good times, baby
Just want to let them roll
I’m gonna make it to the light and joy
I’ll tell you why
I got a woman who can take me there
The apple of my eye
Oh, I just don’t know, no no, no, no
Oh, I love her so
Don’t let me see that morning paper
Because I don’t need those dues
It’s just the same old murder movie
But they call it the news
I’ll tell you what would be some story
And what would set me free
Is if the same thing happened to everybody
That just happened to me
Oh, I just don’t know, no, no, no, no
Oh, I’ll never let her go, no, no, no
And every time I hear somebody
Sneaking up behind
Oh, I turn around but I still hear that sound
And just when I’m about to lose my mind
Here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way
Down along that devastation trail
Well, tell the Lord above
She’s got a brand of love that cannot fail
The apple of my eye, my inspiration too
She’s got a lead on my heart and my soul
And she knows just what to do
But wait a minute, here comes my baby
Singing like a nightingale
Coming my way
Down along that devastation trail
Well, let the fires burn
And let the floods return, we will prevail
Hanging on to my peace of mind
I just don’t know
