When I Sleep

When I Sleep
Steve Allain


We held hands at the station
And you told me you had
Everything you ever needed in the palm of your hand
And I felt a terror and my head started to swim
And the crowd just grew thicker and the lights shone too dim
Inside my restless childhood I hid
Where the heartbreak couldn’t find me


Tonight I lie in your arms
And I could die in your arms
Will you hold me when I sleep?


The days leave us in a hurry
Like the eighty six heading out
And everyday lost between us is another day in doubt
And I’ll hold you closer than you ever thought I could
And I’ll move like the truth so that I am not misunderstood
Love is not blind by the soul of a man
Or the heart of a woman


Tonight I lie in your arms
And I could die in your arms
Will you hold me when I sleep?
Will you hold me?
Will you hold me?
Will you hold me when I sleep?
