Only when I Sleep
When he's not around
Dreams
What can I do
I never loved you anyway
So young
Don't say you love me
Love gives love takes
Hopelessly addicted

Only when I sleep

You're only just a dreamboat 
Sailing in my head 
You swim my secret oceans 
Of coral blue and red 
Your smell is incense burning 
Your touch is silken yet 
It reaches through my skin 
And moving from within 
It clutches at my breast 

But it's only when I sleep 
See you in my dreams 
You got me spinning round and round 
Turning upside-down 
But I only hear you breathe 

Somewhere in my sleep 
Got me spinning round and round 
Turning upside-down 
But its only when I sleep 

And when I wake from slumber 
Your shadow's disappear 
Your breath is just a sea mist 
Surrounding my body 
I'm workin' through the daytime 
But when it's time to rest 
I'm lying in my bed 
Listening to my breath 
Falling from the edge 
But it's only when I sleep 

See you in my dreams 
You got me spinning round and round 
Turning upside-down But I only hear you breathe 

Somewhere in my sleep 
Got me spinning round and round 
Turning upside-down But its only when I sleep It's only 
when I sleep Sharon instrumental 

Up to the sky Where angels fly 
I'll never die Hawaiian High 
In bed I lie No need to cry 
My sleeping cry Hawaiian High 

It's reaching through my skin 
Movin' from within Clutches at my breasts 
But it's only when I sleep.... 

See you in my dreams 
You got me spinning round and round 
Turning upside-down But I only hear you breathe 

Somewhere in my sleep 
Got me spinning round and round 
Turning upside-down But its only when I sleep 

Up to the sky Where angels fly I'll never die Hawaiian 
High In bed I lie No need to cry My sleeping cry Hawaiian High

When he's not around

I can't breathe, I can't sleep 
He's uncool an unsophisticat 
He's a tightrope walker on an open path 
He's a maze of curiosity 
He is the living bread that cures my appetite 
I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep 
When he's not around Everyday is bluey grey 
When he's not in town 

His mystique is one of innocence 
I feel I'm lounging in lovely in his big blue eyes And 
I would be preening in paradise 
If I were always beside him like a Siamese 

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep 
When he's not around Everyday is bluey grey 
When he's not in town 
Can I keep him in my galaxy Can he live within my fantasy 

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep 
When he's not around Everyday is bluey grey 
When he's not in town 

I find that I can't breathe and I can't sleep 
When he's not around Everyday is bluey grey 
When he's not in town When he's not in town, Yeah

Dreams

Now here you go again 
You say you want your freedom 
Well who am I to keep you down 
It's only right that you should 
Play the way you feel it 
But listen carefully to the sound 
Of your loneliness 
Like a heartbeat .. drives you mad 
In the stillness of remembering what you had 
And what you lost ... 
And what you had ... 
And what you lost 

Thunder only happens when it's raining 
Players only love you when they're playing 
Say... Women ... they will come and they will go 
When the rain washes you clean .. you'll know 

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions 
I keep my visions to myself 
It's only me 
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and ... 
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell? 
Dreams of loneliness ... 
Like a heartbeat ... drives you mad ... 
In the stillness of remembering what you had ... 
And what you lost ... 
And what you had ... 
And what you lost 

Thunder only happens when it's raining 
Players only love you when they're playing 
Say .. Women ... they will come and they will go 
When the rain washes you clean .. you'll kno

What can I do

I haven't slept at all in days 
It's been so long since we've talked 
And I have been here many times 
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong 

What can I do to make you love me 
What can I do to make you care 
What can I say to make you feel this 
What can I do to get you there 

There's only so much I can take 
And I just got to let go 
And who knows I might feel better, yeah 
If I don't try and I don't hope 
What can I do to make you love me 
What can I do to make you care 
What can I say to make you feel this 
What can I do to get you there 

No more waiting, no more, aching 
No more fighting, no more, trying... 

Maybe there's nothing more to say 
And in a funny way I'm calm 
Because the power is not mine 
I'm just going to let it fly... 

What can I do to make you love me 
What can I do to make you care 
What can I say to make you feel this 
What can I do to get you there 
What can I do to make you love me 
What can I do to make you care 
What can I say to make you feel this 
What can I do to get you there 
And love me...love me....love me..

I never loved you anyway

You bored me with your stories 
I can't belive that I endured you for as long as I did 
I'm happy it's over, I'm only sorry 
That I didn't make the move before you 

And when you go I will remember 
To send a thankyou note to that girl 
Oh that girl I see she's holding you so tender 
Well I just wanna say... Just wanna say 

I never really loved you anyway 
No I didn't love you anyway 
I never really loved you anyway 
I'm so glad you're moving away 

Valentino, I don't think so 
You watching MTV while I lie dreaming in an MT bed 
And come to think of it I was misled 
My flat, my food, my everything 
And thoughts inside my head 

Before you go I must remember 
To have a quiet word with that girl (Oh that girl) 
Does she know you're not a spender? 
Well I just have to say... (Just wanna say) 

I never really loved you anyway 
No I didn't love you anyway 
I never really loved you anyway 
I'm so glad you're moving away 
Yeah, I am Yeah, I am 

And when you go I will remember 
I must remember to say... 

I never really loved you anyway 
No I didn't love you anyway 
I never really loved you anyway 
I never really loved you anyway 
I never loved you anyway 
No I didn't love you anyway 
Never truly loved you anyway 
I'm so happy you're moving away 
Yeah I'm delighted you're moving away

And it really doesn't matter if we never sleep

Coz we were young then, we are so young, so young now 
And when tommorow comes, we'll can do it all again 

We are chasing the moon Just running wild and free We

On these lazy summer days 
We're spending all of our nights just 
A laughing and kissing, yeah

Don't say you love me

I've seen this place a thousand times 
I've felt this all before 
And every time you call 
I've waited there as though you might not call at all 
I know this face I'm wearing now I've seen this in my 
eyes 
And though it feels so great, I'm still afraid 
That you'll be leaving anytime 

We've done this once and then you closed the door 
Don't let me fall again for nothing more 

Don't say you love me unless forever 
Don't tell me you need me, if you're not gonna stay 
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it 
Make it real or take it all away 

I've caught myself smiling alone 
Just thinking of your voice 
And dreaming of your touch, is all too much 
You know I don't have any choice 
Don't say you love me unless forever 

Don't tell me you need me, if you're not gonna stay 
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it 
Make it real or take it all away 
Yeah Yeah Yeah 

We've done this once and then you closed the door 
Don't let me fall again for nothing more 

Don't say you love me unless forever 
Don't tell me you need me, if you're not gonna stay 
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it 
Make it real or take it all away 

Say you love me Don't tell me you need me, 
if you're not gonna stay 
Don't give me this feeling, I'll only believe it 
Make it real or take it all away 
Take it all away, take it all away

Love gives love takes

Just when I thought I was safe, 
You found me in my hiding place, 
I'd promised never again 
I wouldn't give my heart, but then 
Closer, closer I moved near you 
The way I want you makes me fear you 

Love breaks and love divides 
Love laughs and love can make you cry 
I can't believe the ways That love can give 
And love can take away 

I find it hard to explain It's crazy, 
but it's happening And I'm falling again 
Much further than I've ever been 
I'm falling deeper than the ocean I am lost in this emotion 

Love breaks and love divides 
Love laughs and love can make you cry 
I can't believe the ways That love can give 
And love can take away Ahh Oh yeah ( 3x ) 
Love can give And love can take away 
Love breaks and love divides Love

Hopelessly addicted

Opened my eyes today 
And I knew there's something different 
Saw you in a brand new way 
Like the clouds had somehow lifted 
And if yesterday I heard Myself saying these words 
I would swear it was a lie 

I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling 
Was I so blind I was loving you all the time 
Now I'm hopelessly addicted 
Helplessly attracted 

I'll make a wish this day 
And I'll send it to the heavens 
That we will always stay Entwined like this forever 
And though the world may change 
Coz nothing stays the same 
I know we will survive 

I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling 
Was I so blind I was loving you all the time 
Now I'm hopelessly addicted Naturally we acted 
I don't know why but suddenly I'm falling 
I was so blind I was loving you

Intimacy

Last night before you fell asleep 
You whispered something to me 
Was it just a dream I'm gonna listen to you close 
Coz your goodnight kiss Felt like a ghost 
What are you trying to say to me? 
What are you trying to say? 

Everybody's searching for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Everybody's hurting for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Hey yeah, yeah, yeah 

We come into this world alone 
From the heart of darkness 
The infinite unknown 
We're only here a little while 
And I feel safe and warm 
When I see your smile 

Baby don't move away from me 
Baby don't pull away 

Everybody's searching for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh ooh ooh ooh 
Everybody's hurting for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh 

Remember when you were a child 
And your momma would hold you in her arms 
And rock you to sleep 
Now darling there's just you and I 
Let's give each other everything, baby baby... 

Everybody's searching for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Everybody's hurting for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Baby come and lay down next to me... 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Everybody's searching for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Hey yeah, yeah yeah yeah 

Everybody's hurting for intimacy 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Queen of Hollywood

She drove a long way through the night 
From an urban neighborhood 
She left her mother in a fight 
For a dream misunderstood 
And her friends they talk on corners 
They could never comprehend 

But there was always something different 
In the way she held a stare 
And the pictures that she painted 
Were of glamour and of flair 
And her boyfriend though he loved her 
Knew he couldn't quite fulfill 
He could never meet her there 

She's never gonna be like the one before 
She read it in her stars that there's something more 
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks 
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood 

And the cynics they will wonder 
What's the difference with this dream 
And the dreams of countless others 
All believing in TV 
They see their handprints in a sidewalk 
Flashing cameras on the scene 
And a shining limousine 

She's never gonna be like the one before 
She read it in her stars that there's something more No 
matter what it takes no matter how she breaks 
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood 
She's believing in a dream 
Queen of Hollywood It's a loaded fantasy 

Now her mother collects cut-outs 
And the pictures make her smile 
But if she saw behind the curtains 
It could only make her cry 
She's got hand prints on her body 
Sad moonbeams in her eyes not so innocent a child 

She's never gonna be like the one before 
She read it in her stars that there's something more 
No matter what it takes no matter how she breaks 
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood 
Queen of Hollywood 

No she's never gonna be like the one before 
She read it in her stars that there's something more 
No matter what it takes and even though she breaks 
She'll be the Queen of Hollywood 
She's the Queen of Hollywood and 
Her friends still talk On Corners 
She's the Queen of Hollywood

No good for me

I see a home in a quiet place 
I see myself in a strong embrace 
And I feel protection from the human race 
It's not parental 

But it's a fantasy, not a reality 
And it's good, no, no good for me, you have no idea 
That I'm walking through the clouds 
When you're looking at me 
I'm feeling like a child 
Vulnerability 
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me 
And you're all that I see 
But it's no good for me 

You have a home You have a home, in a quiet place 
And someone else feels your strong embrace 
She is protected and she needs no chase 
And do you love her? 

You're a mystery, you are the heart of intrigue 
You're no good no no good for me 
You have no idea 

That I'm walking through the clouds 
When you're looking at me 
I'm feeling like a child 
Vulnerability 
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me 
And you're all that I see 
But it's no good for me 
No it's no good for me, no good for me 

It's a make-believe, you have no idea 
That I'm walking through the clouds 
When you're looking at me 
I'm feeling like a child 
Vulnerability 
I am shaking like a leaf if you move close to me 
And you're all that I see 
But it's no good for me 

Through the clouds 
When you're looking at me 
I'm feeling like a child 
Vulnerability 
I am shaking like a leaf if you move close to me 
And you're all that I see 
But it's no good for me

Little wing

Now she's walking through the clouds 
With a circus mind 
That's running wild 
Butterflies and zebras 
And moonbeams and fairytales 
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind 

When I'm sad she comes to me 
With a thousand smiles 
She gives to me, free 
It's alright, it's alright' she says 
Take anything you want from me 
Anything 

Now she's walking through the clouds 
With a circus mind 
That's running wild 
Butterflies and zebras 
And moonbeams and fairytales 
All she ever thinks about is riding with the wind 

When I'm sad she comes to me 
With a thousand smiles 
She gives to me free 
It's alright, it's alright' she says 
Take anything you want from me 
Anything 

Fly Little Wing...Yeah, Yeah 
Fly Little Wing... 
I want her to
