Lyrics Level 42 – I Sleep On My Heart
Text:
The time has come for dreaming
Don’t be tired, but I feel a need to sleep
Cause my life takes on you meaning
When I close my eyes and you reveal yourself to me
A time for reason
Something only you can see
All my life I have waited
For a chance to give a 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
Chorus
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 explanations
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
Chorus
I’m sitting here surrounded my possessions
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 hunger but I know you can feed it….
