Nightmare Lyrics by Saxon

Power & the Glory

1983

[Intro]
Where were you, in the night?
Where were you, in the night?

[Verse 1]
As the night closes in
I lay in my bed
Since you went away
It's been driving me mad
Stand in my room
I can't see the light
I wish you were here
I'm lonely at night

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm caught in a nightmare
Alone in the night

[Chorus]
Where were you? I was caught in a nightmare
Where were you? Alone in the night
Where were you? I was caught in a nightmare
Where were you? Alone in the night


[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I was caught on the inside
I'm afraid of the night
Let my nightmare begin
Where reality ends
I won't sleep tonight
My head's spinning 'round
I'm alone in a crowd
I'll wait for the dark
For my nightmare to start
I'm lonely at night
Don't leave me this way

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm caught in a nightmare
Alone in the night

[Chorus]
Where were you? I was caught in a nightmare
Where were you? I was alone in the night
Where were you? I was caught in a nightmare
Where were you? Alone in the night

[Bridge]
I was caught in a nightmare
I was caught in a nightmare

[Outro]
Where were you? I was caught in a nightmare
In the night
Alone in the night
Where were you? Oh, well you found me
In the night
Alone in the night
Don't walk away
Don't leave me this way
Don't leave me this way
Don't walk away
Where were you? Ohhh oh
In the night
Alone in the night
Where were you? Don't leave me no
In the night
Don't walk away, yeah
Where were you? Ohhh oh
In the night...
