Billy Joel Nocturne Lyrics

Nocturne Lyrics

Nocturne was released as an instrumental piece. However, there were lyrics 

written for it. These are those lyrics. 



When it rains

I watch the window

Golden dreams

Wash down the willow

Where are my Mardi Gras memories?

Under silver seas



Long cold nights

Change my reflection

Unsung songs

Show my direction

Where are my make believe victories?

Under silver seas



Ships pass over my head

Purple and blue, yellow and red

White sails catching the breeze

Sailing on silver seas



Once I lived

You might remember

Born in May

Died in September

Where are my carousel fantasies?

Under silver seas
