The Nightmare Lyrics

The Nightmare lyrics

Written by Stevie Nicks. 

 

 

 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
