Ever Dream
Nightwish · Lokikirja [2010]
Just once that all I need
Entwined in finding you one day
Ever felt away without me
My love, it lies so deep
Ever dream of me
Would you do it with me
Heal the scars and change the stars
Would you do it for me
Turn loose the heaven within
I'd take you away
Castaway on a lonely day
Bosom for a teary cheek
My song can but borrow your grace
Ever felt away...
Come out, come out wherever you are
So lost in your sea
Give in, give in for my touch
For my taste for my lust
Ever felt away...
Your beauty cascaded on me
In this white night fantasy
Ever felt away...

'Ever Dream' remains a cherished piece of their discography, showcasing the band's versatility and commitment to artistic growth in the early 2010s.
