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
