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



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

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



But it's only when I sleep...



(Up to the sky)

(Where angles fly)

(I'll never die)

(Hawaiian high)



It's reaching through my skin

Moving from within

And clutches at my breast



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



(In bed I lie)

(No need to cry)

(My sleeping cry)

(Hawaiian high)



(Up to the sky)

(Where angles fly)

(I'll never die)

(Hawaiian high)
