[Verse 1]
I didn't let go 'cause you hurt me
I didn't let go so you'd stay
I did let you go 'cause I love you so much
And it kills me to see us this way

[Verse 2]
Love saved my life when you found me
A debt I can only repay
By closing the doors, now I'm savin' yours
And I know that you'd want it this way

[Chorus]
Sandman, take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years

[Verse 3]
Long are the nights I lay cryin'
Wasn't because you weren't true
I hope you can finally be happy, my love
'Cause I'd give up my own life for you

[Chorus]
Sandman, take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years
[Refrain]
Oh, I jettison all of my years
Oh, I jettison all of my years
