Nicole Atkins

A Dream Without Pain

I woke up from a nightmare to a dream

All that I have learned from defeat

Its all been such a blur

The devil's had his turn

And may my path be lit up by the bridges that I've burned

Say goodbye to Santa Fe

You and I will never be the same

Goodbye to sorrow and to blame

I want a dream without pain

I woke up from a nightmare to a dream

Riding shotgun in the mercy seat

It's all been such a blur

But now I've found the nerve

And may my path be lit up by the bridges that I've burned

Say goodbye to Santa Fe

You and I will never be the same

Goodbye to sorrow and to blame

I want a dream without pain

Ellum's deep and Austin's low

You can stay there but I have to go

You can stand there in the flames

I want a dream without pain

I woke up from a nightmare to a dream

The most beautiful dream
