I Sleep On My Heart Lyrics by Level 42

World Machine

0

The time has come for dreaming
I don't feel tired, but I feel a need to sleep
Cause my life takes on new meaning
When I close my eyes and you reveal yourself to me
That's our time, time for changes
A time for reason
Something only you can see
All my life I have waited
For a chance to give the love
Only you demand of me

Fame and success are poor relations
The more I get the less I need it
Happiness is an unknown sensation
My heart has a hunger and only you can feed it

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on I need to shed some light
I want to sleep on my heart

In the past for protection
When someone got too close
Yet another bridge would burn
But I can find no connection
Between the love that you propose and the lessons I have learned

I want to hear your explanation
You'll never know how much I need it
I want my tears to pay your reflexion
Cause my heart has a hunger and only you can feed it

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on I need to shed some light
I want to sleep on my heart

I'm sitting here surrounded by possessions
Objects that confront me night and day
The fruits of my material obsession
But it seems the more I earn the more I have to pay

You've made it clear that blind ambition
Leads nowhere and I don't need it
I've lost all my fear
All my inhibitions my heart has a hunger but I know you can feed it...

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on I need to shed some light
I want to sleep on my heart
Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on I need to shed some light
I'm gonna sleep on my heart
Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on I need to shed some light
I'm gonna sleep on my heart...
