"Nightjar" lyrics
Straight out the side door and away it went
Gone like caution to the winds
All my devotion, all my good intent
Not worth a sigh Lord when it ends
Walk the red light with a lonely child
Count the rainbows in her eyes
And hear the night bird when it cries
All plans abandoned like the old Wild West
So, as I end, I will begin
Curled up beside her and I made my nest
From broken promises and skin
Walk the red light with a lonely child
Count the moonbeams in her hair
And watch her vanish in the air
Go pin your heartache on the storm enraged
Go hang your pride out on the moon
We'll place a violet under every page
And, honey pie, I'll be there soon
So soon
Gone like caution to the winds
All my devotion, all my good intent
Not worth a sigh Lord when it ends
Walk the red light with a lonely child
Count the rainbows in her eyes
And hear the night bird when it cries
All plans abandoned like the old Wild West
So, as I end, I will begin
Curled up beside her and I made my nest
From broken promises and skin
Walk the red light with a lonely child
Count the moonbeams in her hair
And watch her vanish in the air
Go pin your heartache on the storm enraged
Go hang your pride out on the moon
We'll place a violet under every page
And, honey pie, I'll be there soon
So soon
