[Intro – Soft / Lullaby Tone]
Hummed, distant, almost childlike
Sandman… sandman…
Bring me a dream…
Prettiest girl I’ve ever seen…
⸻
[Verse 1]
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of every tear that falls
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath pulls me deeper in the riptide
Another night alone in my head
Praying sleep will bring you back again
Oh, how long has it been?
I don’t know… I lost count when you left
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Mr. Sandman, if you hear my plea
Turn on your magic, let me see
Just one moment where you’re still with me
⸻
[Chorus]
’Cause it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don’t know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn’t sacrifice
Why’d you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can’t go?
⸻
[Post-Chorus]
As I walk this world alone…
As I walk this world alone…
⸻
[Verse 2]
Another glimpse of what could’ve been
Another dream that ends when I wake again
Falling back in the wilderness
Rubbing salt in the cuts I can’t forget
I’m so alone, don’t have nobody
Nights feel longer when they’re empty
Sandman, don’t let me wake
If this is the only place you stay
⸻
[Bridge – Dream / Lullaby Blend]
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
Make her the girl I still believe
Give her a smile I used to know
Tell her I’m lost but I’m holding on
It’s an endless night, a starless sky
A hell that I still call home
It’s a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know
⸻
[Final Chorus]
And it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don’t know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn’t sacrifice
Why’d you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can’t go?
⸻
[Outro – Fading / Whispered]
Sandman… sandman…
Bring me a dream…
As I walk this world alone…
