Hello there sandman Won’t you come in sit yourself down? Hey, hey there sandman I know you’ve been working downtown I don’t mind you keeping me waiting Won’t be long before the dawn is breaking C’mon sandman it’s very quiet C’mon sandman you stay the night We’ll wake up in the broad daylight I dreamed I was walkin’ I went steppin’ beside the sea When suddenly a stranger he came following after me He caught me up he says help me if you can For I work on the beach I'm the punch and judy man Every night when ‘fore I go home I realize I'm not alone There’s voices in the sea colored lights in the foam We walked together and I formulated a plan And I said just wait there I fetched the family photograph man Told him the words the puppeteer had said And he answered he thought it the boat of the dead So we waited til the dark, we saw a silver moonlit arc Beneath it sailed a shining bark Out on the tideline, strange singing voices we heard So like some color, or the flight of a golden bird Fine rainfall drifted from the sky And the golden bark with her cargo sailed by We waited on the land, we were dancing hand in hand Wheeling across the shining sand Hello there sandman Won’t you come in, sit yourself down? Hey, hey there sandman I know you’ve been working downtown I don’t mind you keeping me waiting It won’t be long before the dawn is breaking C’mon sandman it’s very quiet C’mon sandman stay the night We’ll wake up in the broad daylight
