[Verse 1]
You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret ocean
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
[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 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
[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
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
But it's only when I sleep
[Solo]
Bm, D, E, Em,
Bm, D, E, Em, A,
It's reaching through my skin
Moving from within
And 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
