[Verse 1]
I opened my eyes… /
thought I saw you there /
Light through the window / soft in the air /
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 /
[Chorus]
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 /
[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 /
[Chorus]
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 /
[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 /
Stuck on repeat… / heartbeat in sync with the night /
[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 /
