The Nightmare

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
 Ooh, calling out
 As children may cry as she will
 Anytime, oh, anywhere
 Blinded by the light of the day
 Ooh, 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
 Ooh, 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

 She wants him to fight (anytime, anywhere)
 She wants him to stand up
 She wants him to win
