When I Watch You Sleeping Lyrics

When I watch you sleeping

There is nothing that you hide

When I smell you breathing

There is a sweetness from inside

And when I feel you stern

And the day is about to brake

Outside wings are warring

And the skies are there to take

I wonder how I got so close to you

And see the chances that you take

Without thinking I am going there too

These are the promises you make

When your eyes are blinded by love

And the history of fate

When I hear you burn

Like a kitten and a lion

And I feel your softness

How you got in without trying

Then you role and tumble

With your dreams still holding on

And I hear that rumble

In the stomach of the dawn

Today I paint my masterpiece

Tonight I trace my tears

Thinking through my path to you

And where I stumble through the years

Today I paint my masterpiece

Tonight I trace my tears

Thinking through the road I took to you

And how I stumble through the years

That's when I knew I never had hold you down

Repeating all roads and fears

Now the crows are calling

And the blackbirds sing in my ear

You got one eye open

And I am smiling through my tears

But you will never see that

They are inside with my fears

In a place that's fading away

Taking on the years
