 (Guitars)
Who's  there knocking at my window?
 The Owl and the Dead  boy
 This night whispers my  name
 All the dying children
Virgin  snow beneath my feet
 Painting the world  in white
 I tread the way  and lose myself into a tale
Come  hell or high water, my search will go on
 Clayborn voyage  without an end
A  nightingale  in a golden cage
That's  me locked inside  reality's maze
Come  someone, make  my heavy heart light
 Come  undone, bring  me back to life
A  nightingale  in a golden cage
That's  me locked inside  reality's maze
Come  someone, make  my heavy heart light
It  all starts with  a lullaby
Journey  homeward bound
A  sound of a dolphin  calling
Tearing  off the mask of man
The  Tower my sole  guide
This  is who I am
Escapist,  paradise  seeker
Farewell  now, time to fly
Out  of sight, out  of time, away from all lies
 A  nightingale in a golden care
That's  me locked inside reality's maze
A  nightingale in  a golden cage
That's  me locked inside  reality's maze
Come  someone, make  my heavy heart light
Come  undone, bring me  back to life
A  nightingale in  a golden cage
That's  me locked inside  reality's maze
Come  someone, make  my heavy heart light
It  all starts with  a lullaby
A  nightingale in  a golden cage
That's  me locked inside  reality's maze
Come  someone, make  my heavy heart light
Come  undone, bring me  back to life
 nightingale................
