Standard (EADGBE)

One night a silver balloon swept me over the sea

across the Atlantic I found myself headed towards Paris

I held on to the ropes for dear life it was cold enough to freeze

the balloon burst and I started to fall then I woke suddenly

Interlude

2x , ,

The very next night I saw some whales swim Santa Monica bay

I flew down to greet them I watched them play

in my nakedness I swam and she spoke in her singing sonic way

the mother of them all took my hate then send me on my way

Flying in my sleep

Flying in my sleep

I visit you almost every night I float over your bed

you lay there with open eyes and your husband sleeps in your arms

I can see that you`re thinking of me I made a mistake I should have stayed

I slide between the both of you one kiss and I`ll be on my way

Flying in my sleep

they say it`s a gift but it`s a curse for me

flying and I see

broken dreams and tragedy

If I could I would stay with you forever

in a dream world that`s complete

I`ve got my life and you got yours

but in the night we meet

Well I can`t wait till the sun goes down and lay myself to sleep

I forget about the real life in a dream world incomplete

I fall through my mattress up to the clouds high above the earth

and I find myself looking for you through this wonderful universe

Flying in my sleep

they say it`s a gift but it`s a curse for me

flying and I see

broken dreams and tragedy

Oh I`m flying in my sleep
