Album: Miscellaneous

  • Songwriters: Andrea Corr, Caroline Corr, Jim Corr, Sharon Corr, Oliver Leiber, Paul Peterson, John Shanks

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 movin' from within
It clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep I see you in my dreams
Got me spinnin' round and round, turnin' upside down
But I only hear you breathe somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinnin' round and round, turnin' upside down
But it's only when I sleep

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

But it's only when I sleep I see you in my dreams
Got me spinnin' round and round, turnin' upside down
But I only hear you breathe somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinnin' round and round, turnin' upside down
But it's only when I sleep, it's only when I sleep

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

It's reachin' through my skin, movin' from within
And clutches at my breasts

But it's only when I sleep I see you in my dreams
You got me spinnin' round and round, turnin' upside down
But I only hear you breathe In bed I lie
No need to cry, my sleepin' cry
Hawaiian high
But it's only when I sleep

Got me spinnin' round and round
Turnin' upside down
