Only In My Sleep is from the Corrs from the album `Talk on Corners'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Glimpses of an open window pane, white curtains blowing.

 [Camera pans into the room, zooms onto a bed]

 A lovely red-haired youth lies on the bed, dark red lashes brushing softly against rosy cheeks

Darkness and then a soft violin plays.  The redhead on the bed smiles sensuously as images flash under his eyelids

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're only just a dreamboat

Sailing in my head

You swim my secret oceans

Of coral blue and red

Your smell is incense burning

Your touch is silken yet

It reaches through my skin

Moving from within

And clutches at my breast

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The youth moans softly as rough, callused hands caress his skin, a finger tracing the soft lips.

A small compact body pressing against the bed, the smell of fresh pine trees on his hair

The redhead gasps for breath and awakens, the sensual images shattered by the incessant ringing of the bedside clock.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But it's only in my sleep

See you in my dreams

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 The redhead shakes his head. 

The dream, it was so real.  He could actually feel the heat of a body pressing him against the bed

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

But it's only when I sleep

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dressed impeccably in a dark suit, the redhead gives his bed one last wistful look before he closes the door.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And when I wake from slumber

Your shadow's disappeared

Your breath is just a sea mist

Surrounding my body

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The walking redhead shivers and looks around him.  He swore he felt a presence, an unseen force looking at him.  It must be a remnant of that dream.  He walks on ignoring the curious and adoring gazes of females and males alike.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm working through the daytime

But when it's time to rest

I'm lying in my bed

Listening to my breath

Falling from the edge

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The redhead settles himself blissfully on the bed.  The only place where he can have contentment and realize his deepest dreams.  He smiles.  He will dream again.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But it's only when I sleep

I see you in my dreams

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

I hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep

Got me spinning round and round

Turning upside down

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He is dreaming again.

Caught in the tide of breathless passion.  He moans as his mouth is caught in a brutal, loving kiss, tongues swirling in abandonment, warm hands running down his feverish body.   He is falling.  He gasps for breath as his mouth is released. 

The redhead awakens, emerald eyes widening as he saw a naked, aroused fire demon on top of him. 

Time in a standstill as realization dawns on him.

The redhead falls back on the bed, bringing the small compact body with him.

Two bodies press tightly together.

 [Camera pans away as the bedside lamp is switched off and then a sound of ripped clothing and a breathless alto voice echoing through the darkness]

 "Hiei!"

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Up to the sky

Where angels fly

I'll never die

Hawaiian high

In bed I lie

No need to dry

My sleeping cry

Hawaiian high
