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
