Level 42 - I Sleep On My Heart lyrics

Don't feel tired but I feel a need to sleep

'cause my life takes on new meaning

When I close my eyes and you reveal yourself to me

That's our time, time for changes

A time for reason, something only you can see

All my life I have waited

For a chance to give the 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.

Come on - in my dreams tonight

Show me - where to start

Come on - I need to shed some light

I wanna 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 that I've learned

I want to hear your explanation

You'll never know how much I need it

I want my tears to bear your reflection

'cause my heart has a hunger and only you can feed it.

Come on - in my dreams tonight

Show me - where to start

Come on - I need to shed some light

I wanna sleep on my heart

I'm sitting here surrounded by possessions

Objects that confront me night and day

The fruits of my material obsession

But it seems the more I earn, the more I have to pay

Yoy'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 a hunger, but I know you can feed it

Come on - in my dreams tonight

Show me - where to start

Come on - I need to shed some light

I wanna sleep on my heart
