Lyrics

Only When I Sleep-The Corrs

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...
(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)
I haven't slept at all in days it's been so long since we have talked
and I have been here many times I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
