While You Sleep – The Mutton Birds
Nghệ sĩ: The Mutton Birds
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
While you sleep Coiled up like a spring
I remember everything from the first day
Summer flowers Shimmering in 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 when 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 And 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 that gets to be beside you while you sleep
Once on a still, grey, motorway day
We jumped the green fence and we lay
Watching all the expensive people speeding away
Just before the sun's up The wallpaper lights up
And 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
