Lyrics:
While you sleepcolled up like a springI remember everything from the first daysummer flowersshimmering in the streetplastic sandals on your feet in the doorwayyou looked so hungryyou couldn't stand stillyou made everything in the flat look so cheapI showed you roundforgetting when to breatheand that's still the way I feel when I watch you while you sleepwhile you sleepthe earth revolves in spaceships and planes they race towards tomorrowyou took the roomand pretty soon i knewthat we all would fly to you like little arrowsfancy dressersqueens and jestersthrowing glances your wayin the streetnever worries mecause I'm the one that gets to be beside you while you sleeponce on a still, grey, motorway daywe jumped the green fence and we laywatching all the expensive people speeding awayjust before the sun's upthe wallpaper lights upand another car climbs the hillthey will keepwhatever plans I've madethey'll wait for another daywhen I will tell you things that now I only tell you while you sleep
