Level 42 Lyrics (compiled by Norm)
I Sleep On My Heart
(King/P. Gould/R. Gould/Badarou)
--------------------------------

The time has come for dreaming 
Don't be tired, but I feel a need to sleep
Cause my life takes on you 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

Chorus 

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

Chorus 

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 


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 hunger 
but I know you can feed it....
