Your pillow's wet, your sweat is cold You fear the stories you've been told Your parents will stay out all night They're mad at you 'cause you started a fight Your room is empty, noone's there And still you sense him everywhere Your mothers' hand still burns on your face If only you could leave this place Sandman's coming Bringing sleep His dreams will make you smile or weep His laughter's heard all through the night Pray that you get off with a fright You do not dare to close you eyes You know he'll get you otherwise You try to stay awake all night But fall asleep and lose the fight And suddenly your mind awakes And opens the forbidden gates The hellish powers go their way To take your silly life away Sandman's coming Bringing sleep His dreams will make you smile or weep His laughter's heard all through the night Pray that you get off with a fright You're overwhelmed by deep despair Hissing voices fill the air Within the tenderness of sleep Lie agony and pain indeed Morning rises, the skies are blue Your parents return to talk to you They call your name and step right to your bed But they're too late, your heart stops dead Sandman's coming Bringing sleep His dreams will make you smile or weep His laughter's heard all through the night Pray that you get off with a fright And when you listen to the crying For all the children that are dying You might once hear a quiet laughter It's Sandman, now and everafte编辑于2023/12/16更新
