Nocturne
M.Glinka - Lyrics

Can't wait for the night
Anticipating the arrival of the nighttime.

For the sun
Referring to the departure of daylight.

To leave to this world behind
Eager to put an end to the day.

For the dark to drape its comfort tight
Desiring the soothing embrace of the night.

Shut out all of the noise of frivolity
Wishing to block out all the pointless distractions.

And grant us space and all the time we need
Asking for ample room and unlimited time.

To sigh that deep blue sigh
Envisioning an expression of sorrowful longing.

Drag me out of my mind
Wishing to be freed from excessive thoughts.

Pull me out of my head
Asking to be released from mental bondage.

I want to make you all mine
Desiring exclusive ownership of another person.

Let's put this thing to bed
Proposing the end of an ongoing situation.

Let the record spin
Indicating the start of a musical moment.

I want to dance again
Yearning for the thrill of dancing.

I want to touch your skin
Longing for physical contact.

And play you from within
Imagining playing music deep within the other person.

Name the song
Requesting the name of a particular tune.

I'll put it on
Offering to play the requested music.

When the needle lands
Referring to the moment the needle touches the vinyl record.

So do my hands
Indicating an instinctive reaction to the music.

On perfect arms
Referring to the arms of the person they desire.

Where I belong
Expressing the desire to be with that person always.

We'll sway to the silence
Describing a gentle, intimate dance between two people.

Between our thoughts
Suggesting a level of emotional and mental intimacy.

Drag me out of my mind
Repeating the desire to escape the bounds of one's own thoughts.

Pull me out of my head
Reiterating the need for mental and emotional liberation.

I want to make you all mine
Restating the desire for possession of another person.

Let's put this thing to bed
Repeating the proposition to settle an ongoing situation.

Let the record spin
Repeating the invitation to enjoy music.

I want to dance again
Repeating the yearning for dancing.

I want to touch your skin
Reiterating the longing for physical contact.

And play you from within
Repeating the wish to play music from the other person's heart.

(You drag me out of my mind)
Repeating the chorus.

(Pull me out of my head)
Repeating the chorus.

(I want to make you mine)
Repeating the chorus.

(Let's put this thing to bed)
Repeating the chorus.

(Oh, let the record spin)
Repeating the chorus.

(I want to do it again)
Repeating the chorus.

(Yeah)
Indicating agreement or emphasis.
