[Verse] A shadow slips through the midnight door His coat is dust from the ocean floor Whispering lullabies you've never heard before [Prechorus] He paints the skies with starry hues Sprinkling dreams like morning dew [Chorus] Oh Sandman Sandman dance with me Spin your stories so wild so free Close my eyes and set me adrift In a world of wonder your nightly gift [Verse 2] His footsteps leave no trace on the ground Yet echoes of silence are the only sound He scatters the dark where the dreams are found [Bridge] Is he a myth is he a muse A fleeting phantom we can't refuse In his hands the night’s disguise A magic trick behind closed eyes [Chorus] Oh Sandman Sandman dance with me Spin your stories so wild so free Close my eyes and set me adrift In a world of wonder your nightly gift
