Intro

Verse 1

Meet me at midnight

When the kingdom's asleep

And the guards of the palace

Have long been at ease

Verse 2

Once out the window

Follow my steps

Till us and our shadows

Are all that is left.

Chorus

And we'll lift off our armour

And let the moonlight steal in

Lay me down, lay me down

Where the nightingales sing

Lay me down, lay me down

Where the nightingales sing

Verse 3

Long past surrender

The bar sets the stage

With a single-star spotlight

Where the leads of the play

Verse 4

Our story's unscripted

In this secret show

We'll draw back the curtains

And see where it goes

Chorus

And let our hearts take their places

Let the night pull the strings

Lay me down, lay me down

Where the nightingales sing

Instrumental

Verse 5

Meet me at midnight

Same old sweet song

Tonight and tomorrow

And on and on

Verse 6

Stay with me, stay with me

Love serenade

As long as we stand

And the band wants to play

Chorus

And when the last waltz is over

And the next one begins

Lay me down, lay me down

Where the nightingales sing

Lay me down, lay me down

Where the nightingales sing

Lay me down, lay me down

Where the nightingales sing
