Only When I Sleep

You're only just a dream boat 

Sailing in my head 

You swim my secret oceans 

Of coral blue and red 

Your smell is incense burning

 Your touch is silken yet

 It reaches through my skin

 Moving from within 

And clutches at my breast 

CHORUS: But it's only when I sleep

 See you in my dreams 

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 

And when I wake from slumber 

Your shadow's disappeared 

Your breath is just a sea mist 

Surrounding my body 

I'm working through the daytime

 But when it's time to rest

 I'm lying in my bed

 Listening to my breath

 Falling from the edge 









But it's only when I sleep... 



(Hawaiian high)

 It's reaching through my skin Moving from within And clutches at my breast 

(In bed I lie) 

(No need to cry)

 (My sleeping cry)

(Up to the sky)

 (Where angels fly)

 (I'll never die)
