Only When I Sleep

[Verse 1]

You're only just a dreamboat

Sailing in my head

You swim my secret oceans

Of coral blue and red

Your smell is incense burning

Your touch is silken yet

[Pre-Chorus]

It reaches through my skin

Moving from within

It clutches at my breast

[Chorus]

But it's only when I sleep

I see you in my dreams

You got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But it's only when I sleep

[Verse 2]

And when I wake from slumber

Your shadows disappear

Your breath is just a sea mist

Surrounding my body

I'm workin' through the daytime

[Pre-Chorus]

But when it's time to rest

I'm lying in my bed

Listening to my breath

Falling from the edge

[Chorus]

But it's only when I sleep

I see you in my dreams

You got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

I hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But it's only when I sleep

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, yeah-eah

Yeah, yeah, yeah-eah

Oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Only when I sleep

[Pre-Chorus]

It reaches through my skin

Moving from within

It clutches at my breast

Yeah-eah-eah

[Chorus]

But it's only when I sleep

I see you in my dreams

You got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But I only hear you breathe

In bed I lie

No need to dry

My sleeping cry

[Outro]

Ah, ay-ay-ay

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Up to the sky, where angels fly

I'll never die

Only when I sleep
