I used to be a dreamer, I can´t be that way no more,
I used to be a dreamer, I can´t be that way no more,
Only time has proved me wrong,
You can´t live on love alone when reality is far too strong.

Nightmare walkin´, creepin´ through the lonely nights,
Nightmare walkin´, creepin´ through the lonely nights,
I wake up with the rising sun,
Try to work away the days, keep my troubles on the run.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.

I wake up from my sleep, I got nightmares on my mind,
Walk around in circles to pass away the time,
I hear the bell tonin´ and I see the mornin´ light,
Pour myself a drink, but I lost my appetite,
I can´t sleep at all, ´cause my dreams are all so bad,
When I get to thinkin´ it´s about to drive me mad.
See our love dyin´ and my eyes begin to burn,
My mind is so confused, I don´t know which way to turn.

Wake up with the rising sun,
Try to work away the days, keep my troubles on the run.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.

[Rod - Solo]

Time at last has proved you right,
Now my dreams are turnin´ bad, it´s the same thing every night.
Nowhere to hide, nightmare ruin my life.

[Instrumental]

Nightmare, ruin my life, yeah,
Nightmare, ruin my life,
Every hour, whoa, every night,
Hear the bell tonin´, hear the bell tonin´,
Nightmare, yeah, whoa, nightmare, drive me crazy,
Nightmare, yeah, nightmare, drive me out of my mind.
