Jokerman dance to the nightingale tune, Bird fly high by the light of the moon, Oh, oh, oh, Jokerman Standing on the waters casting your bread While the eyes of the idol with the iron head are glowing Distant ships sailing into the mist, You were born

I'm hanging on to my peace of mind I just don't know The apple of my eye Oh, I just don't know, no, no, no, no Singing like a nightingale Coming my way Down along that devastation trail I'm hanging on to those good times, baby Just want to let them roll

Morning is coming Morning is on it's way It's revelation day Sweet nightingale Wake up, it's a beautiful day 'Cause I be rocking in my shoes To this sweet reggae groove Ain't nobody gonna spoil my mood Oh nightingale
