[Verse 1: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things you're dreaming about
When you open up your heart and the truth comes out

[Pre-Chorus: John Paul White, Joy Williams & Both]
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep

[Verse 2: John Paul White & Joy Williams]
When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know that you sleep in the spotlight?
And all your dreams you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide

[Pre-Chorus: John Paul White, Joy Williams & Both]
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
'Cause I hear it in the night

[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep

[Outro: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
When you're talking in your sleep
When you're talking in your sleep

The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars were a musical duo composed of Joy Williams and John Paul White, formed in 2008.

Prior to Williams and White meeting at a songwriting workshop in Nashville, the two had already established their solo careers. At the time, Williams previously released five albums (Joy Williams, By Surprise, Genesis, Connect Sets EP, Every The Best of Joy Williams) and White only released The Long Goodbye. When the two were randomly paired to write together, they quickly discovered how well they work together. Williams said in a 2012

[W]hen he started singing it was like I knew where he was going to go before he went there.
