[Verse 1]
I opened my eyes… /
thought I saw you there~ ahh… /
Light through the window / soft in the air~ ooh /
Then it hit me… out of the blue~ /
You walked in… / but gone too soon~ /
The ghost of your kiss… / lingers on my skin~ /
I close my eyes… / let the dreaming begin~ ahhh /
[Chorus]
Sandman… / dose me a dream~ ooh /
I need better weather… / to save me~ /
Kiss the scars… / that bear this wounded heart~ /
It can’t be too terribly hard~ ahh /
[Verse 2]
Mascara stains my pillow… / weeping like a willow~ /
I spent the day… / only half okay~ /
Thought I’d see you… / but you’d gone away~ /
Called to say hey… / you said~ /
“Chin up, doll… / sunshine will come again~ /
It can’t rain every day~” /
I close my eyes… / feel your touch through the storm~ /
Outside the wind is wild… / inside we’re warm~ ooh /
[Chorus]
Sandman… / dose me a dream~ ahh /
I need better weather… / to save me~ /
Kiss the scars… / that bear this wounded heart~ /
It can’t be too terribly hard~ ooh /
[Bridge]
Purple fills the sky… / I wipe my tears dry~ /
I was here… / but you’d just left~ /
Burning in my chest… / I can’t rest~ /
Missing you… / lonely in sheets~ ahhh /
Stuck on repeat… / heartbeat in sync with the night~ ooh /
[Chorus / Outro]
Sandman… / dose me a dream~ /
I need better weather… / to save me~ /
Kiss the scars… / that bear this wounded heart~ /
It can’t be too terribly hard~ ahh… ooh /
