Lyrics

[Verse 1] The Greek sword Over the head of your bed It swings around like a mobile To help you sleep Don't be silly No sudden movement Or you'll sleep forever Thorn in your eye and an awful smell With the early morning sun [Chorus] Sleep tight, stay quiet Don't move, don't moan Don't toss nor turn Nocturne, Nocturne, Nocturne Nocturne, Nocturne, Nocturne [Post-Chorus] This is not a warning We are not like that It shall only show How far we can go You see we could, but if we would It depends on you You see we could, but if we would It depends on you [Verse 2] The horse's head At the foot of your bed Smiles at you Like the first smile On the first morning But its eyes gaze Gone and empty And the sheets and the carpet Have sucked his blood and an awful smell With the early morning sun [Verse 2] Sleep tight, stay quiet Don't move, don't moan Don't toss nor turn Nocturne, Nocturne, Nocturne Nocturne, Nocturne, Nocturne [Post-Chorus] This is not a warning We are not like that It shall only show How far we can go You see we could, but if we would It depends on you You see we could, but if we would It depends on you
