Harlem Nocturne Songtext
von The Tiki Collective

Deep music fills the night
Deep in the heart of Harlem
And though the stars are bright
The darkness is taunting me

Oh what a sad refrain
A nocturne born in Harlem
That melancholy strain
Forever is haunting me

The melody clings
Around my heart strings
It won′t let me go when I'm lonely


I hear it in dreams
And somehow it seems
It makes me weep
And I can′t sleep
An indigo tune

It sings to the moon
The lonesome refrain of a lover
The melody sighs
It laughs and it cries
A moan in blue that wails the long night through

Then with the dawn it's gone
The melody lives ever
For lonely hearts to learn
Of love in a Harlem nocturne
