THE CORRS LYRICS - Only When I Sleep

"Only When I Sleep"



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

It reaches through my skin

And moving from within

It clutches at my breast



But it's only when I sleep

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 its only when I sleep



And when I wake from slumber

Your shadow's disappear

Your breath is just a sea mist

Surrounding my body

I'm workin' 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, (dreams)

You got me spinning round and round

Turning upside-down

But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep, (in my sleep)

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside-down

But its only when I sleep

It's only when I sleep



[Sharon & Andrea solo]



Up to the sky

Where angels fly

I'll never die

Hawaiian High

In bed I lie

No need to cry

My sleeping cry

Hawaiian High



It's reaching through my skin

Movin' from within

And clutches at my breasts...



But it's only when I sleep...

See you in my dreams, (dreams)

You 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



But it's only when I sleep... aaaaaaa....

Got me spinning round and round

(Turning upside-down)



Up to the sky

Where angels fly

I'll never die

Hawaiian High

But it's only when I sleep...



[Fade out]
