The Nightmare Lyrics - 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 

Photos 

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
