When I'm Asleep
.
.
.
You gotta bring the bread to the table
You gotta bring the bread on home
So you dance for the rain and the sun and the wind
And you pray for your crops to grow
.
And every morning till sundown
You work your hands to the bone
You keep your head high and your eyes wide
Diamond in your mind and you bring the bread home
.
But when Im asleep
When Im asleep
Im not anyone
Youre not anywhere
.
But when Im asleep
When Im asleep
Im not anyone
Youre not anywhere
.
And you know I gotta win your heart babe
You know I gotta win your love
So I promise the moon and the stars and the sea
And I pray to the stars above
.
With every beat my hearts skipping
Youll know what Im made of
I keep light on and the bed warm
Shelter from the storm and Im keepin our love
.
But when Im asleep
When Im asleep
Im not anyone
Youre not anywhere
.
When Im asleep
When Im asleep
Im not anyone
Youre not anywhere
.
And my mouth doesnt talk back to me
And my plans dont have to be
And my back doesnt feel gravity
And my dreams go back to sleep
.
And you know I gotta make it to heaven
You know I gotta save my soul
So I marry the lord and I drink from the scars
And I swear off my worldly ways
.
And every second a baby
Is born through his mothers bones
And torn from grace gotta find your faith
Or the devil's gonna claim your soul
.
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Im not anyone
Youre not anywhere
.
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Im not anyone
Youre not anywhere...
