nightbird - eva cassidy video free download

Some old hotel room in Memphis

I see the city through the rain

I'm just chasing me in my time

And remembering some pain

You see there once was a boy

And on the street he'd surely die

So the nightbird took him in

And she taught him how to fly

See the nightbird softly fly

Why does she fly alone

Is the moonlight just a flame

For her memory now she's gone

Two-bit bars and honkytonks

Any pleasure can be found

You can get just what you want

If you lay your money down

And lonely sailors do their drinking

My my my how the brave men do die

And the nightbird sells her pleasures

Bringing tears to my eyes

See the nightbird softly fly

Why does she fly alone

Is the moonlight just a flame

For her memory now she's gone

So I guess I'll go out walking

Lord let the rain keep falling down

I guess I'll go and chase some memories

In the dark side of town

See the nightbird softly fly

Why does she fly alone

Is the moonlight just a flame

For her memory now she's gone

For her memory now she's gone

For her memory now she's gone
