When I watch you sleeping | |
There’s nothing that you hide | |
When I smell you breathing | |
There’s a sweetness from inside | |
And when I feel you stirring | |
And the day is about to break | |
Outside winds are worrying | |
And the sky is there to take | |
I wonder how I got so close to you | |
And see the chances that you take | |
Without thinking I’m 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 purring | |
Like a kitten and a lion | |
And I feel your softness | |
How you got it without trying | |
Then you roll 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 the road I took to you | |
And where I stumbled through the years | |
Today I paint my masterpiece | |
Tonight I trace my tears | |
Thinking through my path to you | |
And where I stumbled through the years | |
That’s when I knew I’d never hold you down | |
Repeating old roads and fears | |
Now the crows are calling | |
And the black birds sing in my ear | |
You got one eye open | |
And I’m smiling through my tears | |
But you’ll never see them | |
They’re inside with my fears | |
In a place that’s fading away | |
And taking on new year |
When I watch you sleeping | |
There' s nothing that you hide | |
When I smell you breathing | |
There' s a sweetness from inside | |
And when I feel you stirring | |
And the day is about to break | |
Outside winds are worrying | |
And the sky is there to take | |
I wonder how I got so close to you | |
And see the chances that you take | |
Without thinking I' m 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 purring | |
Like a kitten and a lion | |
And I feel your softness | |
How you got it without trying | |
Then you roll 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 the road I took to you | |
And where I stumbled through the years | |
Today I paint my masterpiece | |
Tonight I trace my tears | |
Thinking through my path to you | |
And where I stumbled through the years | |
That' s when I knew I' d never hold you down | |
Repeating old roads and fears | |
Now the crows are calling | |
And the black birds sing in my ear | |
You got one eye open | |
And I' m smiling through my tears | |
But you' ll never see them | |
They' re inside with my fears | |
In a place that' s fading away | |
And taking on new year |
When I watch you sleeping | |
There' s nothing that you hide | |
When I smell you breathing | |
There' s a sweetness from inside | |
And when I feel you stirring | |
And the day is about to break | |
Outside winds are worrying | |
And the sky is there to take | |
I wonder how I got so close to you | |
And see the chances that you take | |
Without thinking I' m going there too | |
These are the promises you make | |
When your eyes are blinded by love | |
And the history of fate | |

Then you roll 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 the road I took to you | |
And where I stumbled through the years | |
Today I paint my masterpiece | |
Tonight I trace my tears | |
Thinking through my path to you | |
And where I stumbled through the years | |
That' s when I knew I' d never hold you down | |
