Correction Lyrics When I Watch You Sleeping (Orchestral) by Neil Young

Back

Lyrics

When I watch you sleeping, there’s nothing that you hide
When I smell you breathing there’s a sweetness from inside
And when I feel you stirring and the day is about to break
Outside wings are whirring and the sky is there to take

I wonder how I got so close to you
And see the chances that you take
Without thinking I’m going there too
These are the promises you make
When your eyes are blinded by love
And the history of fate

When I hear you purring like a kitten and a lion
And I feel your softness, how you got it without trying
Then you roll and tumble with your dreams still holding on
And I hear that rumble in the stomach of the dawn

Today I paint my masterpiece
Tonight I trace my tears
Thinking through my path to you
And where I stumbled through the years

Today I paint my masterpiece
Tonight I trace my tears
Thinking through the road I took to you
And how I stumbled through the years
That’s when I knew I’d never hold you down
Repeating old roads and fears

Now the crows are calling and the blackbirds sing in my ear
You got one eye open and I’m smiling through my tears
But you’ll never see them, they're inside with my fears
In a place that’s fading away and taking on new years
