Nocturne Lyrics - Sophie B. Hawkins

Nightmare bring me to the dawn 

I must ride your body on 

Deep inside me I know 

You cant hide me from harm 

Im the secret that you bear 

Born of anger and despair 

Who will strangle me? 

Who will untangle my hair? 

Come to me, I can see 

Through the holes in your eyes 

When I scream out in terror 

Youre the one by my side 

Run to me strong and pure 

As the monsters child 

Weve been captured for a lifetime 

But were free when were wild 

Sleep, my little darling 

Dont you cry for Mama, shes all gone 

Nightmare came and took her in his arms 

Find your dark horse 

And ride your course through the storm 

Lay me down you can see 

Through the rain in my eyes 

That Ive no more to lose 

And Ive nothing to hide 

Playing in midnight fields 

Of dreams exiled 

We are strangers in the city 

But were free when were wild
