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

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

The nightmare

This is not the world
This is not the world

The nightmare

This is not the world
This is not the world

The nightmare

This is not the world
This is not the world

She wants him to fight

She wants him to stand up
She wants him to win

Blinded by the light of the day

Blinded by the light of the day

Thrown down through the arms of sleep

She fell through the ivory morning
Deep into the waters of the one she called love

She was blinded by the light of the day

Blinded by the light of the day
