Sharon Celani - The Nightmare lyrics

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
