DESCRIPTION:

“Nightbird” describes a person haunted by memories of a lost love. The lyrics vividly portray the sounds of the night, including the whispering wind and the melancholic calls of nightbirds. The heartache is compared to the loneliness of these creatures, with the owl and whip-poor-will symbolizing the pain of lost love. The refrain emphasizes the inability to escape the memories, as the person lies awake, listening to the nightbird’s song.
