Every Time You Sleep

I go to work
And I get in early
Lying to myself I need to be there
I pass the church
And all the hurly burly
Of all the people as they walk without a care
How I'd love to tell them of how I get so happy
Maybe now's not the time
But when's it going to be right?
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
You walk to work
And I walk out with you
Lying to the people that we're together
You cross the street
To catch the waterloo train
And I slink back to walk the quiet way back home
How I'd love to sing about what gets me happy
Maybe now's the time
Maybe it's alright?
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
I want to get on the telephone
I want to call everyone
I want to know what to say when you mean it
I come awake
Every time you sleep
I slip away
But it gets so hard to leave
Watching you down deep
And all my troubles to keep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
Every time you sleep
