Lyrics

[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
It reaches through my skin and moving from within
It clutches at my breast
[Verse 2]
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinnin' round and round
Turning upside down
(But I only hear you breathe) I hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinnin' round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep
[Verse 3]
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 but when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed listening to my breath, falling from the edge
[Verse 4]
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams (Dreams)
You got me spinnin' round and round
Turning upside down
(But I only hear you breathe) I hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep (In my sleep)
Got me spinnin' round and round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
It's only when I sleep
[Verse 5]
Up to the sky where angels fly
I'll never die, in bed I lie
[Verse 6]
It's reaching through my skin, moving from within
And clutches at my breast
[Verse 7]
But it's only when I sleep
I see you in my dreams (Dreams)
You got me spinnin' round and round
Turning upside down
(But I only hear you breathe) I hear you breathe
In bed I lie, no need to cry
My sleeping cry
But it's only when I sleep
Got me spinnin' round and round
Turning upside down
Yeah, yeah
Up to the sky where angels fly
Round and round
Turning upside down
It's only when I sleep
Got me spinnin' round and round
Turning upside down
