Only When I Sleep

The Corrs

Talk On Corners - Special Edition

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
Got me spinning 'round and 'round
Turning upside down

But I only hear you breathe (I 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 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)
Got me spinning '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 spinning 'round and 'round
Turning upside down
But it's only when I sleep

Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
It's only when I sleep

Up to the sky where angels fly
I'll never die, Hawaian high

It's reaching through my skin
Movin' from within
And clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams (dreams)
Got me spinning 'round and 'round (spinning around)
Turning upside down

But I only hear you breathe (I hear you breathe)
In bed I lie, no need to cry ('round and 'round)
My sleeping cry, Hawaian high (upside down)

But it's only when I sleep
Aaaaah
Got me spinning 'round and 'round
Turning upside down (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Up to the sky
Where angels fly ('round and 'round)
I'll never die (turning upside down)
Hawaian high

But it's only when I sleep (yeah, yeah)
Got me spinning 'round and 'round
Turning upside down (yeah yeah yeah yeah)
