Everybody said I was a coker and a smoker and a run-a-round
But ever since you got me crying I’ve been coming down
To the light-house waiting for your footsteps, yeah

I remember all the people and the names and the faces
But it’s just a memory to me now
And nothing but a photograph reminds me of you

Ooh sandman
Take me by the hand
Ooh sandman
Take me to your land of dreams

I see the ships coming in going out coming in but they never stop
Nobody’s knocking on my door nobody’s coming up
I’m lonely in the light-house waiting for you

Ooh sandman
Take me far away
Ooh sandman
Dream my life away
Ooh sandman
Take me by the hand
Ooh sandman
Take me to your land of dreams
