The Corrs
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
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 (Dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
I hear you breathe (But I only hear you breathe)
Somewhere in my sleep (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
It's only when I sleep
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
Up to the sky, where angels fly
I'll never die, Hawaiian high
[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 (Dreams)
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
I hear you breathe (But I only hear you breathe)
In bed I lie
No need to dry (Round and round)
My sleeping cry (Upside down)
[Post-Chorus]
But it's only when I sleep
Ah, yeah
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Refrain]
Up to the sky, where angels fly (Round and round)
I'll never die, Hawaiian high (Turning upside down)
[Outro]
But it's only when I sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside down
