Lyrics
0:16You're only just a dream boat
0:20Sailing in my head
0:23You swim my secret oceans
0:26Of coral blue and red
0:29Your smell is incense burning
0:33Your touch is silken yet
0:36It reaches through my skin
0:40Moving from within
0:44And clutches at my breast
0:46But it's only when I sleep
0:49See you in my dreams
0:53Got me spinning round and round
0:57Turning upside down
1:00But I only hear you breathe
1:03Somewhere in my sleep
1:06Got me spinning round and round
1:10Turning upside down
1:14But it's only when I sleep
1:17And when I wake from slumber
1:20Your shadow's disappeared
1:24Your breath is just a sea mist
1:27Surrounding my body
1:30I'm working through the daytime
1:34But when it's time to rest
1:37I'm lying in my bed
1:40Listening to my breath
1:44Falling from the edge
1:47But it's only when I sleep
1:50See you in my dreams
1:54Got me spinning round and round
1:58Turning upside down
2:01But I only hear you breathe
2:04Somewhere in my sleep
2:07Got me spinning round and round
2:11Turning upside down
2:14But it's only when I sleep
2:27But it's only when I sleep
2:43（Up to the sky）
2:46（Where angels fly）
2:49（I'll never die）
2:52（Hawaiian high）
2:57It's reaching through my skin
3:00Moving from within
3:03And clutches at my breast
3:10But it's only when I sleep
3:13See you in my dreams
3:16Got me spinning round and round
3:21Turning upside down
3:23But I only hear you breathe
3:26（In bed I lie）
3:29（No need to cry）
3:32（My sleeping cry）
3:36（Hawaiian high）
You're only just a dream boat 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 Moving from within And clutches at my breast But it's only when I sleep 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 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 But it's only when I sleep 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 But it's only when I sleep （Up to the sky） （Where angels fly） （I'll never die） （Hawaiian high） It's reaching through my skin Moving from within And clutches at my breast But it's only when I sleep See you in my dreams Got me spinning round and round Turning upside down But I only hear you breathe （In bed I lie） （No need to cry） （My sleeping cry） （Hawaiian high）
