Testo Nightingale lane. Raye

Nightingale lane.

This is a song about the greatest heartbreak I have ever known
This song is called Nightingale Lane

On a street in the South London suburbs
Where my first love kissed me goodbye
His lips were thin (Thin), and beer-stained (Beer-stained) and tear-stained
Was a pain that made me colder now
After the oceans I cried, I'm made of steel
Just floating now, mmm, mmm

But when I drive (When I drive)
Down this road (Down this, ooh)
I reminisce (Lose my mind)
I drive slow
I've let him go now (I, I)
Just see a ghost town
And sometimes
At red lights
With closed eyes
I tell myself
I dare myself
To go on, just say it
Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)
And someday, somebody will again
Like the way you loved me
On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)
Although we never made it
Stranger, you showed me it's true
I'm capable of loving someone
The way I loved you
It was right there (And it was)
Early June (Right next to)
Next to old Park Avenue
On Nightingale Lane
Standing in the rain
I watched him walk away

Took me long, hard years to get over you
It was an aching I refuse to feel again
And looking back now
We never were quite right for each other, baby
But in the absence of passion in my life
I remember how alive
Love once was and I sigh (When I drive)

But when I drive (When I drive)
Down this road (Down this road)
I reminisce
I drive slow
I've let him go now (I, I)
Just see a ghost town
And sometimes
At red lights
With closed eyes
I tell myself, in fact I dare myself
To go on, just say It

Somebody loved me once (Loved me once)
And someday, somebody will again
Like the way you loved me
On Nightingale Lane (Nightingale Lane, Nightingale Lane)
And though we never made it
Stranger, you showed me it's true
I'm capable of loving someone
The way I loved you
It was right there (And it was)
In June (Right next to)
Next to old Park Avenue
On Nightingale Lane
Standing in the rain
I watched him walk away

I've, I've dabbled in love since
Maybe every other summer
It never lasts long
They never stick around
I'm made of steel now (I'm made of steel)
I believe someday
Someone will come along
And knock them walls down
And knock them walls down

When I drive
Down this road
I'm reminded though
I've let him go now
Right here in this ghost town
Right here on this ground is where
Someone once loved me
And someday, someone will again

Someone will
I know, I know it, I know it
Someone will love me
Like the way you loved me
On Nightingale Lane
