Nightingale
- Jackson Browne
I'm
hanging on to my peace of mind
I just
don't know
I'm
hanging on to those good times, baby
Just
want to let them roll
I'm
gonna make it to the light and joy
I'll
tell you why
I got
a woman who can take me there
the
apple of my eye
oh,
I just don't know, no no, no, no
I love
her so
Don't
let me see that morning paper
cause
I don't need those dues
it's
just the same old murder movie
but
they call it the news
I'll
tell you what would be some story
and
what would set me free
Is if
the same thing happened to everybody
that
just happened to me, oh,
I just
don't know, no, no, no, no
I'll
never let her go
Every
time I hear somebody sneakin'
up behind
whoa, I turn around
but
I still hear that sound
and
just when I'm about to lose my mind
Here
comes my baby
singing
like a nightingale
Coming
my way down along that devastation
trail
well tell the Lord above
she's
got a brand of love
that
cannot fail
I'm
hanging on to my peace of mind
that's
no lie
I'm
hanging on to my special friend
the
apple of my eye
my inspiration,
too
she's
got a lead on my heart and
my soul
and she knows just what to do
oh,
I just don't know, no ,no, no, no
No,
I get so low, and my mind's about to go
but
wait a minute, here comes my baby
singing
like a nightingale
coming
my way down along that devastation
trail
Well,
let the fires burn, let the
floods
return
we will
prevail
Hanging
on to my peace of mind
I just
don't know
