Lyrics: Level 42. I Sleep on My Heart.

The time has come for dreaming
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 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

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on, I need you 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

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on, I need you to shed some light
I'm gonna sleep on my heart

I'm sitting here, surrounded my 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

Come on
Come on
Come on
Come on

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 a hunger but I know you can feed it

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on, I need you to shed some light
I wanna sleep on my heart

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on, I need you to shed some light
I'm gonna sleep on my heart

Come on in my dreams tonight
Show me where to start
Come on, I need you to shed some light
I wanna sleep on my heart
