Crazy Nightingale Lyrics

Once by the white sea on the rocky coast of Wales
There was a sad sound in the song of the nightingales
Above the bright fields, yours was the wilder song
From a dark wood, a plaint so clear and strong

The pale, unfettered breast against a thorn
How you loved to make sweet music pour

Chorus:
Here's to all the hangers-on
Another round of ale
You sang your lonely life away
Crazy nightingale

I've heard of one bird who sang to an ancient age
That was in china, he lived in a bamboo cage
His voice was silver but yours was smooth, warm stone
On the sidewalk singing "Molly Malone"Craig Bickhardt - Crazy Nightingale - http://motolyrics.com/craig-bickhardt/crazy-nightingale-lyrics.html

With fiery visions that were fused to be
Such incandescent poetry

Here's to all the hangers-on
Another round of ale
You sang your lonely life away
Crazy nightingale.

It was always the madness or the drink
You were driven to
I guess in the end those were the bars
You were singing through

Here's to all the hangers-on
Another round of ale
You sang your lonely life away
Crazy nightingale
