Nocturne

Lyrics

[Chorus] La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la [Verse 1] You ask me why We cannot make love (La la la, la la la) I have been ransacking you For the answer (La la la, la la la) [Verse 2] Side by side we lay Not touching Listening to rain falling In the darkness [Chorus] La la la la La la la, la la la [Verse 3] Where desire writhed there stands a stone The change was sudden and complete [Chorus] La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la [Verse 4] A serious question We have turned out to ask We have sought each other secretly Strong has been the urge [Chorus] La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la [Bridge] To lie naked facing fear [Verse 5] Quietly and quickly Our sentences blaze trails upon the night We are mates on a doubtful voyage [Chorus] La la la la La la la, la la la [Verse 6] Speaking sanely now Allotting no lovers advantage La la la la la la la [Chorus] La la la la La la la, la la la [Verse 7] My room is anxious to expel him He hurries to be free of my feelings [Chorus] La la la, la la la la La la la, la la la [Verse 8] We wear our words Until he finally dresses (La la la) Looking for his shoes He is a shadow in my doorway (La la la)
