Nightmare By The Sea Lyrics by Jeff Buckley

Nightmare By The Sea

Beware the bottled thoughts of angry young men
Secret compartments hide all of the skeletons
Little girl wants to make her home with him
In the middle of the shore, she wonders

Dont know what you asked for.
Dont know what you asked for.

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their minds eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where youll go

Ive loved so many times and Ive drowned them all
From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls
With their bones theyll scratch the window, I hear them call

Dont know what you asked for.
Dont know what you asked for.
Dont know what you asked for.

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their minds eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where youll go

Stay with me under these waves, tonight
Be free for once in your life tonight

Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where youll go

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their minds eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where youll go

All young lovers know why
Nightmares blind their minds eye
Your rube is young and handsome
So new to your bedroom floor
You know damn well where youll go.
