The Mutton Birds - While You Sleep lyrics



While you sleep
coiled up like a spring
I remember everything from the first day

summer flowers shimmering down the street
plastic sandals on your feet in the doorway

you looked so hungry you couldn't stand still
you made everything in the flat look so cheap

I showed you round
forgetting how to breathe
and that's still the way i feel
when i watch you while you sleep

while you sleep
the earth revolves in space
ships and planes they race towards tomorrow
you took the room
& pretty soon I knew that we all would fly to you
like little arrows

fancy dressers, queens and jesters throwing glances your way
in the street never worries me
cause i'm the one who gets to be
beside you while you sleep

once on a still grey motorway day
we jumped the green fence & we lay
watching all the expensive people speeding away

just before the suns up
the wallpaper lights up
another car climbs the hill

they will keep, whatever plans i've made
they'll wait for another day
when I will tell you things that now
I only tell you while you sleep
