RUSH LYRICS - Nocturne

"Nocturne"



Did I have a dream?

Or did the dream have me?



Set off on a night-sea journey

Without memory or desire

Drifting through lost latitudes

With no compass and no chart



Flying through hallucination

Distant voices, signal fires

Lighting up my unconscious

And the secret places of the heart



Dream - temporary madness

Dream - a voice in the wilderness

Dream - unconscious revelations

The morning says, the answer is yes



Floating through a darkened mirror

Deep reflections in disguise

Soaring through lost altitudes

Without wonder, without fear



Symbols on a field of visions

Behind the curtain of sleeping eyes

On the instant of waking

Another world of dreams appears



Dream - temporary madness

Dream - a walk in the wilderness

Dream - unconscious recreation

The morning says the answer is yes
