singer, songwriter, rock 'n' roller
I've forgotten every dream
But the feeling inside I always keep,
Through the days and through the nights
I'm only happy when I sleep.
I love the stars and the moony leaves
And I love the clouds that slowly sweep,
But I love the most to close my eyes
I'm only happy when I sleep.
Forgive me if I'm far away
When midnight talk goes long and deep,
All your words mean much to me
But I'm only happy when I sleep.
I sang beneath a star of peace
It said Make no promises you can't keep.
It dropped in the well and I heard it ring,
I'm only happy when I sleep.
When the grass runs out of words
And silent falls the mountain steep,
The moonlight flowers bloom so sweet
I'm only happy when I sleep.
When you wore your hair in braids
You spoke in bells to hear me weep,
I picked the petals 'til you were bare
I'm only happy when I sleep.
I put on a coat of wings
I cleared the steeple in one leap,
Still you held to the iron gate
I'm only happy when I sleep.
