to nightmares

My dreams have turned to nightmares

At night I hear them creeping up the stairs

The dreams that haunt

Are still the ones I have not got

My dreams have turned to nightmares

My dreams have turned to nightmares

I raised them up from tiny little thoughts

At first they sought

To bring happiness as they ought

But now my dreams are nightmares

My dreams have turned to nightmares

They stand around and stare down at me

Their judging eyes

Look down and criticize

My dreams have turned to nightmares

My dreams have turned to nightmares

I wouldn’t have it any other way

They give me hope

Keep me from thinking ‘bout the rope

My dreams keep me from nightmares

Yeah my dreams keep me from nightmares
