I saw a comet in the skyCaught it by the tailWhen I held it in my handIt was a nightingaleIt was a nightingaleI was happy and took him homeHe was hurt and so aloneWater, love and seedsThose were all his needsIn about a week or soHe was fit to goHe sang a ting, ling, ling, ling, bird songA swinging, ling, ling, ling, long melodyHe sang a ting, ling, ling, ling rock songA swinging, ling, ling, ling, long song for meOne day at daybreakHe said good-byeHe flew up and he was likeA comet in the skyA comet in the sky
