Fly on through the night wind
Take a star to her for me
Please, whisper I love her
Tell her wait for me
Here it seems so cold now (it seems so cold)
How I miss her arms around me
Soar, nightbird of love
Make her wait for me

You have wings, you know
I let you go
Almost every night
But loneliness can dull the shine
Of even the bright Moon light

Nightbird fly on, fly on (bird, fly on)
Nightbird, sing her my song (sing my song)

Oh, before you leave
(Before you leave) take this band of gold with you
And if you can find her
Tell her I am true

'Cause you have wings you know
I let you go
Almost every night
But loneliness can dull the shine
Of even the bright Moon light

Nightbird fly on, fly on (bird fly on)
Ooh I sing, nightbird sing her my song (sing my song)
Nightbird fly on, fly on (bird fly on)
Ooh, nightbird fly on (bird fly on)
