Jesca Hoop - When I'm Asleep lyrics

rate me

You gotta bring the bread to the table

You gotta bring the bread on home

So you dance for the rain and the sun and the wind

And you pray for your crops to grow

And every morning till sundown

You work your hands to the bone

You keep your head high and your eyes wide

Diamond in your mind and you bring the bread home

But when I'm asleep

When I'm asleep

I'm not anyone

You're not anywhere

But when I'm asleep

When I'm asleep

I'm not anyone

You're not anywhere

And you know I gotta win your heart babe

You know I gotta win your love

So I promise the moon and the stars and the sea

And I pray to the stars above

With every beat my hearts skipping

You'll know what I'm made of

I keep light on and the bed warm

Shelter from the storm and I'm keepin' our love

But when I'm asleep

When I'm asleep

I'm not anyone

You're not anywhere

When I'm asleep

When I'm asleep

I'm not anyone

You're not anywhere

And my mouth doesn't talk back to me

And my plans don't have to be

And my back doesn't feel gravity

And my dreams go back to sleep

And you know I gotta make it to heaven

You know I gotta save my soul

So I marry the lord and I drink from the scars

And I swear off my worldly ways

And every second a baby

Is born through his mother's bones

And torn from grace gotta find your faith

Or the devil's gonna claim your soul

Go back to sleep

Go back to sleep

I'm not anyone

You're not anywhere

Go back to sleep

Go back to sleep

I'm not anyone

You're not anywhere...
