[offset:0]
[00:20.58] Thrown down through the arms of sleep
[00:22.76]
[00:23.64] She fell through the ivory morning
[00:27.01]
[00:28.63] Deep into the waters
[00:30.99] Of the one she called love
[00:33.30]
[00:35.30] She paled in the wake
[00:36.67]
[00:37.73] Of what some call a dream
[00:40.44] But you cannot know a dream
[00:42.68] Till you've known the nightmare
[00:45.19]
[00:47.49] When I stood with you against the storm
[00:50.67]
[00:51.18] And I tried once again
[00:54.24]
[00:54.80] Well I said
[00:55.80] "I'd like to leave you
[00:58.11] With something warm"
[00:59.61] How many times
[01:00.79]
[01:01.73] Drowning in the sea
[01:03.04]
[01:05.60] Drowning
[01:06.36]
[01:08.35] That was when the dream took her prisoner
[01:10.97]
[01:12.72] And she knew the dream was over
[01:15.21] But the nightmare was not over
[01:20.01]
[01:23.12] Still some call that a dream
[01:25.12]
[01:30.78] Well you cannot know a dream
[01:32.72]
[01:33.59] When you turn away
[01:35.53] You don't know
[01:36.77] You'll never care
[01:37.90]
[01:38.71] The night is not your friend
[01:41.14]
[01:41.70] And you have not had her
[01:43.25]
[01:44.68] And when the nightmare ends
[01:46.43] But you never understand
[01:50.07]
[01:50.76] When you're gone
[01:51.51]
[01:53.57] She wakes up calling out
[01:57.31]
[01:58.06] Oh calling out
[01:59.25]
[02:00.18] As children may cry as she will
[02:03.84]
[02:08.46] Anytime oh anywhere
[02:11.02]
[02:12.20] Blinded by the light of the day
[02:14.44]
[02:16.75] She has known the nightmare
[02:19.06]
[02:31.98] So about the moon and her sisters
[02:35.47]
[02:36.04] How dare he take them prisoner
[02:39.56]
[02:40.93] Well if she had flung out her heart against him
[02:44.24] Then in all of her wisdom
[02:46.17]
[02:47.85] Oh well that was a mystery
[02:49.35]
[02:53.97] That was when the dream took her prisoner
[02:56.71]
[02:58.27] And she knew the dream was over
[03:00.71] But the nightmare was not over
[03:05.51]
[03:07.95] Somewhere in her ancient ways
[03:10.19]
[03:12.63] She walks through the night
[03:14.44]
[03:15.58] And then she tries to get through the day
[03:18.62]
[03:20.79] Some will never know
[03:22.35] Or share any kind of dream
[03:26.21]
[03:32.51] The nightmare
[03:33.45]
[03:36.57] This is not the world
[03:37.88] This is not the world
[03:38.81]
[03:40.19] The nightmare
[03:42.06]
[03:44.24] This is not the world
[03:45.55] This is not the world
[03:46.68]
[03:47.99] The nightmare
[03:49.67]
[03:52.11] This is not the world
[03:53.29] This is not the world
[03:54.35]
[03:55.72] The nightmare
[03:56.85]
[03:59.91] This is not the world
[04:01.15] This is not the world
[04:02.34]
[04:04.52] She wants him to fight
[04:05.71]
[04:08.45] She wants him to stand up
[04:10.45] She wants him to win
[04:11.57]
[04:19.31] Blinded by the light of the day
[04:21.81]
[04:27.05] Blinded by the light of the day
[04:29.36]
[04:34.66] Thrown down through the arms of sleep
[04:36.91]
[04:37.53] She fell through the ivory morning
[04:40.82] Deep into the waters of the one she called love
[04:44.71]
[04:49.64] She was blinded by the light of the day
[04:53.01]
[04:54.45] Blinded by the light of the day
