Lời bài hát WHILE YOU SLEEP - THE MUTTON BIRDS
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
