So long fare thee well The dancer and the dancing days have taken leave and fell So turn down this bed of stone Quench me with the deadly nightshade from the rose that you belong The long December rain is falling now Running down on streets to nowhere Music is my life you're my sweetest nightingale But I can't hear it here no more So I go I go Hush now don't shake or break Words have fallen silent like soldiers to the grave No matter what they do or say Lay me on the sleepy meadow by the tracks upon your face The long December rain is falling now Running down on streets to nowhere Music is my life you're my sweetest nightingale But I can't hear it here no more And I go I go I go I go The long December rain is falling now Running down on streets to nowhere Music is my life you're my sweetest nightingale But I can't hear it here no more So I go I go I go I go
