A Flock of Seagulls



Nightmares

----------

you keep stopping when you could be walking

looking at the pictures on the wall

you keep quiet when you should be talking

you just don't make any sense at all



remember when you were much younger

and you were lying in your bed

among the satin sheets and pillows

your mother there to ease your head



mama mama I keep having nightmares

mama mama mama on my own

mama mama mama hold me tightly

mama mama do you love me still



but now it's different you are older

there's no one here to hold your hand

you're mamas gone behind the veil dream

there's no one left to understand



mama mama I keep having nightmares

mama mama mama I'm on my own

mama mama mama hold me hold me tightly

mama mama do you love me still



do you love me

do you love me



so you're left standing in the corner

you keep your face turned to the wall

a fading dream a fading nightmare [memories]

a shooting star that had to fall



mama mama I keep having nightmares

mama mama mama on my own

mama mama mama hold me hold me tightly

mama mama do you love me still

mama mama do you love me still

mama mama do you love me still

mama
