Nightbird

Some old hotel room in Memphis I see the city through the rain I'm just chasing me in my time And remembering some pain You see there once was a boy And on the street he'd surely die So the night bird took him in And she taught him how to fly See the night bird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame For her memory now she's gone To big bars and honky tonks Any pleasure can be found You can get just what you want If you lay your money down And lonely sailors do their drinking My my my how the brave men do die And the night bird sells her pleasures Bringing tears to my eyes See the night bird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame For her memory now she's gone So I guess I'll go out walking Lord let the rain keep falling down I guess I'll go and chase some memories In the dark side of town See the night bird softly fly Why does she fly alone Is the moonlight just a flame For her memory now she's gone For her memory now she's gone For her memory now she's gone
