Roches - Nocturne lyrics

rate me

You ask me why<br />

We cannot make love<br />

I have been ransacking you<br />

For the answer<br />

<br />

Side by side we lay<br />

Not touching<br />

Listening to rain falling<br />

In the darkness<br />

<br />

Where desire writhed there stands a stone<br />

The change was sudden and complete<br />

<br />

A serious question<br />

We have turned out to ask<br />

We have sought each other secretly<br />

Strong has been the urge<br />

To lie naked facing fear<br />

<br />

Quietly and quickly<br />

Our sentences blaze trails upon the night<br />

We are mates on a doubtful voyage<br />

<br />

Speaking sanely now<br />

Allotting no lovers advantage<br />

<br />

My room is anxious to expel him<br />

He hurrie~ to be free of my feelings<br />

<br />

We wear our words<br />

Until he finally dresses<br />

Looking for his shoes<br />

He is a shadow in my doorway
