When I Watch You Sleeping Songtext
von Eddi Reader

When I watch you sleeping
I see myself for what I am
And the secret I′ve been keeping
It's more than I can stand
Well, I′ve tried but can't ignore
That I know that heaven's sore
That′s why when I watch you sleeping, I cry

Ahh, mmm, oh


There′s a number in my pocket
That I should really lose
And your picture in my locket
Smiles so warm and true
Oh, my heart grows ever-cold
At the thought of the lies I've told
That′s why when I watch you sleeping, I cry

Ahh, mmm, oh

If I confess, would you forgive me?
Or if I pretend, will this emptiness always be with me?

When I hear you talking
With your unquestioning faith
I stop our eyes from meeting
I turn my face away
Why should you pay for the crime
When all the blame is mine?
That's why when I watch you sleeping, I cry

Ahh, mmm, oh

Ahh, mmm, oh
