Song Lyrics

Hey young girl staring at me
Smiling so mysteriously
Your eyes so shiny and your lips so red
Do you know this tune playing in my head

Hey Cordelia don't you frown
Though your daddy went crazy and your
house burned down
I'm gonna make everything alright
I'm singing just for you tonight

I got a tune running through my head and it
won't go away
Singing to me softly, singing to me day
after day
And I want you darling, and I don't want
nobody but you
We can jam in the daylight, we can jam
the whole night through

'Cause I need someone to turn me on
Someone to wake beside at dawn
Someone to sing my song
And be my Nightingale.
Someone to kiss beneath the moon
And sleep with in the afternoon
Someone to sing my tune
And be my Nightingale.

Your face so fine and your body so shy
England in the rain is no place to be
Go find your lover out across the sea
Girl do you hear the music playing
Do you understand what the singer is saying
And these visions that we both have seen
Baby can you tell me just what they mean?

I got a tune running through my head that I
want you to hear
Play it for you darling, for your sisters and
the good King Lear
And I been dreaming of a day when the sun
will shine again
Shine on through your lightning, shine on
through your thunder and rain
'Cause I need someone to turn me on

So won't you listen to the band
And won't you try to understand
And won't you let me be your fool
And hold you by the hand
And sing until I see that you are smiling...
