Alan Rankine - The Sandman Lyrics

Tell me why is it that every time your shadow hits my face
And you take your hand to me for the first time today
I just wait for night to come when you close the door on me
I don't know what's right or wrong
But I want back my dignity

Just tell me when will the Sandman come
And take me for his first and final friend
When will the Sandman come
To give me the sleep that never ends
Just leave me til the Sandman comes
I've got another sixteen years to wait
And only if the Sandman comes
Can I ever hope to see that day

So I say to you that even if you changed every word I said
And the blood sets hard on the swords that you say you're sorry for
The tears you cry are perfumed rain and they hit hard from above
They fall as presents on your pillow to prove your wrapping paper love

Just tell me when will the Sandman come
And take me for his first and final friend
When will the Sandman come
To give me the sleep that never ends
Just leave me til the Sandman comes
I've got another sixteen years to wait
And only if the Sandman comes
Can I ever hope to see that day
