Maria Lawson - Sleepwalking Lyrics

You see them on the corner in the morning
Barely seem to be awake
Praying that they won't be late
You know they're in the office when you're calling
Head inside a magazine
Wishing they could live their dream

Sleepwalking through your destiny
Dream talking of how it used to be
The future's just a memory
But it's all you got
Can't stop the clock
The wall revolves and you can't get out

One by one the dreams are gone
Today you're the lonely one
Free from all you've wished yourself
Thought you'd left you on the shelf.
How could this be history?
When the future seemed to be
Brighter than the stars above
Full of hope and full of love.

Walking through the door with the TV on
Children running round your feet
Fast forward to you're asleep
And every days the same and you don't know why
You promise that you'll never be
Everything that you now see

Sleepwalking walking through your destiny
Dream talking of how it used to be
But it's all you got
Can't stop the clock
The wall revolves and you can't get out

One by one the dreams are gone
Today you're the lonely one
Free from all you've wished yourself
Thought you'd left you on the shelf.
How could this be history?
When the future seemed to be
Brighter than the stars above
Full of hope and full of love.

So follow your dreams
No matter how extreme
Really live your life (yeh)
Cos your life is in your hands
Don't take no other plans
You can do it if you just believe you can.

Chorus x2


Maria Lawson - Sleepwalking Review and Info

Predicted winner from last year's X Factor, Maria famously left the show early when Louis Walsh opted to keep the Irish Conway Sisters over her. This caused a national outcry, but London born Maria was the real winner with no less than four major labels offering her deals.

Maria's debut single 'Sleepwalking' samples the Chi-lites 'Have You Seen Her' and thus combines a cool sample with a catchy chorus and a flawless vocal. 'Sleepwalking' is bound to launch Maria as a premier British female artist.

X factor was certainly not Maria's first experience in the Music Business. At 18 she was offered a record deal with XL records, she has performed backing vocals for many artists including Gabrielle and Lemar, and signed a publishing deal at 23 which saw her writing songs for many European acts.
