Eleanor McEvoy - I Hear You Breathing In LYRICS

When I wake from dreaming

In the middle of the night

You're asleep and yet you say

In your own sweet silent way

That everything's alright

And your hair is lying

'Cross the pillow by my head

You're unconscious to the night

You can't talk but that's alright

Let your breathing speak instead



I hear you breathing in

You breathe out on my skin

That's when I begin

To know you're near me

I don't turn on the light

I don't need to use my eyes

The heartbeat by my side

Tells me you're here with me



My senses can deceive me

When I'm sleepy and confused

from my heavy eyes I see

Only darkness around me

My dreams long since excused

Then my thoughts go racing

Through the cloisters of my brain

In those midnight hours I find

That you hypnotise my mind

With your soothing pulse again



I hear you breathing in

You breathe out on my skin

That's when I begin

To know you're near me

I don't turn on the light

I don't need to use my eyes

The heartbeat by my side

Tells me you're here with me
