Lyrics for I'm Only Sleeping

When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream) Please, don't wake me No, don't shake me Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping Everybody seems to think I'm lazy I don't mind, I think they're crazy Running everywhere at such a speed 'Til they find there's no need (there's no need) Please, don't spoil my day I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye of the world Going by my window Taking my time Lying there and staring at the ceiling Waiting for a sleepy feeling Please, don't spoil my day I'm miles away And after all I'm only sleeping Keeping an eye on the world Going by my window Taking my time When I wake up early in the morning Lift my head, I'm still yawning When I'm in the middle of a dream Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream) Please, don't wake me No, don't shake me Leave me where I am I'm only sleeping
