Thrown down through the arms of sleep
|
She fell through the ivory morning
|
Deep into the waters
|
Of the one she called love
|
She paled in the wake
|
Of what some call a dream
|
But, you cannot know a dream
|
Till you've known the nightmare
|
|
When I stood with you against the storm
|
And I tried once again
|
Well, I said, "I'd like to leave you
|
With something warm"
|
How many times
|
Drowning in the sea
|
Drowning
|
That was when the dream took her prisoner
|
And she knew the dream was over
|
But, the nightmare was not over
|
Still some call that a dream
|
The nightmare... the nightmare
|
|
Well, you cannot know a dream
|
When you turn away
|
You don't know
|
You'll never care
|
The night is not your friend
|
And you have not had her
|
And when the nightmare ends
|
But, you never understand
|
When you're gone
|
She wakes up calling out
|
Oh, calling out
|
As children may cry as she will
|
|
Anytime... oh, anywhere
|
Blinded by the light of the day
|
She has known the nightmare
|
|
So about the moon and her sisters
|
How dare he take them prisoner
|
Well, if she had flung out her heart against him
|
Then in all of her wisdom
|
Oh, well that was a mystery
|
|
That was when the dream took her prisoner
|
And she knew the dream was over
|
But the nightmare was not over
|
Somewhere in her ancient ways
|
She walks through the night
|
And then she tries to get through the day
|
Some will never know
|
Or share any kind of dream
|
|
The nightmare
|
This is not the world
|
This is not the world
|
This is not the world
|
The nightmare
|
She wants him to fight... anytime, anywhere
|
She wants him to stand up
|
She wants him to win
|
This is not the world
|
This is not the world
|
This is not the real world
|
Blinded by the light of the day
|
Blinded by the light
|
She was blinded by the light of the day
|
Blinded by the day
|
