Nocturne Lyrics by Rush

Vapor Trails

2002

[Intro]
Did I have a dream?
Or did the dream have me?
Did I have a dream?
Or did the dream have me?

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Dream, temporary madness
Dream, a voice in the wilderness
Dream, unconscious revelations
The morning says, the answer is yes

[Intro]
Did I have a dream?
Or did the dream have me?
Did I have a dream?
Or did the dream have me?

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
Dream, temporary madness
Dream, a walk in the wilderness
Dream, unconscious recreations
The morning says, the answer is yes

[Chorus 3]
Dream, temporary madness
Dream, a voice in the wilderness
The morning says, the answer is yes
The morning says, the answer is yes
The morning says, the answer is yes
