Lyrics The Outfield

The Outfield

Sandman

All good children close your eyes

Go silently to sleep

If you feel afraid there's always

Someone there to keep

You from being harmed

A friend who's never out of reach

Sandman, sandman

All good children close your eyes

Before the lights go down

If there's trouble in your mind

He's there to ease your doubt

When you feel alone

You'll hear him shuffling around

Sandman, sandman

But your mother calls

It's time to turn out the light

And say goodnight

All you children thinking that

The man does not exist

I suggest you think again

This story has one twist

Scared that there's a figure

You've seen looming in the mist

Sandman, sandman

He's a sandman, sandman
