Here comes the dark night
I wish I wouldn't need rest
'Cause when I'm sleeping all the trouble is done

There's no smooth voices
There's no tender caress
I'm entering a place where the hope is gone

Sometimes I wonder how long we'd last
If our world was just like I'm dreaming

Hold on, 'cause sweet nightmares
Are never lasting at all
Hold on, 'cause sweet nightmares
Are lasting until the dawn

I always wonder
If we're living in heaven
Why I'm only dreaming 'bout the fire

There's someone screaming
He doesn't want going home
When I awake I hear the voice it's crying

I don't understand, dreams can seem so real
Could I live inside someone's dream?

Hold on, 'cause sweet nightmares
Are never lasting at all
Hold on, 'cause sweet nightmares
Are lasting until the dawn
