While You Sleep

Steve Earle


(never released by Steve - recorded by Charlie Sexton) 
Girl there's no moon out tonight 
Just your window light 
The night hides nothing you should fear 
'Cause I stand guard out there 

Every day I look away when we meet 
Every night I'm walking up and down your street 
I'm standin' here outside your window 
It's drivin' me mad, I can't let go 

You'll never even see 
This lonely watch I keep 
While you sleep 

Girl, don't ever think your dreams 
Are private as they seem 
'Cause I know every move you made 
From midnight 'till you wake 
While you sleep 

Every day I look away when we meet 
Every night I'm walking up and down your street 
I'm standin' here outside your window 
It's drivin' me mad, I can't let go
