newport nightmare, newport nightmare,

newport nightmare

it took me that day, on the hill

in the rain, to see

life is but a storm away



that day we both felt

like we never felt before

and our petty arguments

came crashing to the floor

and we hugged ourselves and prayed that

we'd live to see the night

the day we fell asleep in your arms



i don't ever pray

except for that day

and the temple on the hill

couldn't offer us anything

and we thought about

the things that we would

never ever see again

and we watched our lives

watched them wash away



life is but a dream
