oh, baby

you've been talking in your sleep

I've been lying here listening to

a secret you had meant to keep

inside of you

were you dreaming of his face

I can't begin to take it in

I even know the time and place



like the scene in a film that removes all doubt

there's a shot of a man who wakes with a shout

as he steps from a dream he figures it out

that's me today

like the end of a book where the plot unfolds

but the lines on the page leave a tale untold

of a spy who never came in from the cold

that's me today, yeah



talking in your sleep

talking in your sleep



the force of love

is sometimes hard to resist

but I never thought I'd see the day

never thought we'd come to this

so angry now

and I'm sure you'd feel the same

I heard it said you took his bed

though you barely knew his name



like the boy leaving home with a hole in his heart

tries to fill up the void with a brand new start

not a day goes by when he's not torn apart

that's me today

like the way that it looks in a seaside town

when the shutters go up and the flags come down

and the beaches are bare, no-one around

that's me today, yeah



talking in your sleep

talking in your sleep . . .
