Alison Moyet - Sleep Like Breathing Lyrics






Every words so...
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
When the slowness of the day has gone
Leaving shadow like feelings to depend upon

Every words so...
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain

You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath... gently

And the tease cries
Weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower

When the danger in the touch is gone
Changing delicate evenings to reflective ones

And the tease cries
Weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower

You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath... gently

    Easy to recognize David Freeman's voice and the whole song has his fingerprints all over it. Its a shame Moyet and Freeman didn't sing together more because they sound great together.

  10. L.... ....

    I still remember the day I bought the Raindancing album. (From 'Our Price' in Norwich.) Played it as soon as I got home, and immediately decided Sleep Like Breathing was my favourite track on there. Its beauty pretty much swept over me.
    31 years beyond that day, and my teenage opinion of 1987 remains unchanged....

    My Fav Alison song


    Every word's so
    Every word's so fragile
    Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
    When the slowness of the day is gone
    Leaving shadow-like feelings to depend upon
    Every word's so
    Every word's so fragile
    Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
    You sleep like breathing
    You sleep like breath - gently
    And the tease cries weeping listless laughter
    Always thirsty like an attractive flower
    When the danger in the touch is gone
    Changing delicate evenings to reflecting ones
    And the tease cries weeping listless laughter
    Always thirsty like an attractive flower
    You sleep like breathing
    You sleep like breath - gently
    You sleep like breathing
    You sleep like breath
    You sleep like breathing
    You sleep like breath
    You sleep like breathing

  32. A.... L....

    Amazing! Just AMAZING :-D

    David Freeman of THE LOVER SPEAKS is the male vocalist. He worked with the Eurythmics and Dave Stewart helped produce his album. Annie Lennox covered the song from his album, "No More I Love Yous."

    y.... t....

    Dave Stewart is also the co-writer of "Is this Love". He couldn't do it under his real name as he was contracted to the Eurythmics. He is anecdotally credited as Jean Guiot. This was to avoid him being in breach of his contract. The story goes that he and Alison created this in 5 minutes, but I think that'll just be the words than the orchestration would have taken longer. I don't know who knows the truth but if it is true it brings together a bigger circle. Dave Stewart was part of the Eurythmics and David Lillywhite who produced a lot of Alison's early material was the husband of the late and GREAT & FABULOUS Kirsty MacColl. Kirsty did do the Elysian choir on one of Alison's singles off Hoodoo. So it completes the cycle of creation.

    y.... t....

    eurisko1967 steve Lillywhite. Not David.

  34. T.... M....

    What a brilliant gem! Pure poetry and magic. Absolutely beautiful!

  35. i.... ....

    this is such a fantastic duet. One of my all time favourites. David Freeman's baritone and falsetto on this song are amazing!

    i.... ....

    Je suis fan de Alison moyet 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🎤

    i.... ....

    And I thought it was andy bell from erasure on this duet! Feck!!! He hee hee! 😂

    i.... ....

    Thank you for sharing David Freeman's name: his first album THE LOVER SPEAKS is still one of my all-time favorites!

    i.... ....

    @shane kennedy so did I! Vince Clarke's vocal collaborators all sort of inhabit the same vocal space, don't they? Even Martin Gore these days.

    i.... ....

    I honestly can't believe it's not Andy! It's unreal!!

  36. K.... L....

    Great voices ......I Love this song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  37. I.... c....

    Great work

  38. I.... c....
