Level 42 - I Sleep On My Heart

The time has come for dreaming
Don't feel tired, but I feel a need to sleep
'Cause my life takes on new meaning
When I close my eyes
And you reveal yourself to me
That's our time, time for changes
A time for reason
Something only you can see
All my life I have waited
For a chance to give the love
Only you demand of me

Fame and success are poor relations
The more I get, the less I need it
Happiness is an unknown sensation
My heart has a hunger
And only you can feed it

Come on - in my dreams tonight
Show me - where to start
Come on - I need to shed some light
I wanna sleep on my heart

In the past for protection
When someone got too close
Yet another bridge would burn
But I can find no connection
Between the love that you propose
And the lessons I have learned

I want to hear your explanation
You'll never know how much I need it
I want my tears to bear your reflexion
'Cause my heart has a hunger
And only you can feed it

I'm sitting here surrounded by possessions
Objects that confront me night and day
The fruits of my material obsession
But it seems the more I earn
The more I have to pay

You've made it clear that blind ambition
Leads nowhere and I don't need it
I've lost all my fear, all my inhibitions
My heart has hunger
But I know you can feed it
