Nocturne — Billy Joel

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
