Nightmares By The Sea Lyrics - Sketches (for My Sweetheart The Drunk) - Jeff Buckley

Beware, the bottle 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 

I don't know what you asked for 

I don't know what you asked for 

All young lovers know why 

Nightmares blind their mind's eye 

Your rube is young and handsome 

So new to your bedroom floor 

You know damn well where you'll go 

I've loved so many times and I've drowned them all 

From their coral graves, they rise up when darkness falls 

With their bones they'll scratch the window 

I hear them call 

I don't know what you asked for 

I don't know what you asked for 

I don't know what you asked for 

All young lovers know why 

Nightmares blind their mind's eye 

Your rube is young and handsome 

So new to your bedroom floor 

You know damn well where you'll go 

Stay with me under these waves tonight 

Be free for once in your life tonight 

Your blue beard's young and handsome 

So new to your bedroom floor 

You know damn well where you'll go 

All young lovers know why 

Nightmares blind their mind's eye 

Your rube is young and handsome 

So new to your bedroom floor 

You know damn well where you'll go 

All young lovers know why 

Nightmares blind their mind's eye 

Your rube is young and handsome 

So new to your bedroom floor 

You know damn well where you will go
