Nightmares Lyrics

I've been outside the palace 

I've been outside the gate 

I still don't feel that I made any mistake 

when I got off that train 

I felt my feet hit the ground 

I didn't want to go 

where that gravy train was bound 

GOD help me to see 

I've been loved all along 

and not to get too confused 

between the moonlight and the dawn 

if I go back to the palace 

I'll walk right thru' the gate 

nobody knows how much here was at stake 

I might get on that train 

in feel the wheel on the train 

move it on up the mountain like a foregone fact 

GOD help me to know 

I've been in love my whole life 

and not to get so confused 

between the struggle and the strife
