I’m Gonna Watch You Sleep Awhile
I’m gonna watch you sleep awhile. You don’t like it when I’m
gawking in the morning before you had your coffee… you say I am warning you.
I’m gonna watch you sleep a while. You don’t like it when I’m
barging in the bathroom gazing at you while you take a shower
Now’s the best time to stare at you.
Man, you look so beautiful, I could gaze for hours cause I really
get a kick here. Wonder what you dream, your eyes just gave a
little flicker. Dream, beautiful dream.
Knowing you the way I do, I figure you are dreaming bout a summer
on the ocean, there in Provincetown you read a book and spread
the lotion. Rest, rest, rest.
Maybe you are dreaming that, we have bought a house and now
we do not have to answer to some dumb landlord who treats us
like we are cancer. Yes, yes, yes.
So your childhood wasn’t great, there in your subconscious
there’s a door, you cannot latch it. Do you dream I find your dad
And chop him with a hatchet? Cool, cool, cool.
I’m gonna watch you sleep awhile. You don’t like it when I watch
you when you put your clothes on. I kiss your forehead I hope
that only good stuff goes on in your dreams.
