Through the Sleepy Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The boy you thought was love has changed his mind And now your sleep is hard to find But there's a sure escape where your pillow lies Just rest your head and close your eyes [Chorus] The Sandman makes his rounds He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town The sandman makes no sound He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town [Verse 2] He weaves a fantasy to bide your time Until the morning brings the crime He weaves a fantasy to ease your mind Escape the life that's so unkind [Chorus] The Sandman makes his rounds He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town The sandman makes no sound He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town [Bridge] And dream the dawn will bring Assumed peace of mind [Verse 3] Tomorrow brings no peace, you'll run and hide And curse the pain you feel inside But there's a sure escape where your pillow lies Just rest your head and close your eyes [Chorus] The Sandman makes his rounds He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town The sandman makes no sound He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town [Chorus] The Sandman makes his rounds He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town The sandman makes no sound He rides the rails underground Through the sleepy town [Refrain] Through the sleepy town Through the sleepy town Through the sleepy town
