Story behind the song
I got the inspiration while watching a show on the Hillside Strangler
Lyrics
The Sandman Close all the windows lock all the doors Put away your paper dolls and pins Draw tight the curtains don019t you make a sound Looks like the Sandman019s back in town Parsons in the pulpit, heaven knows he tries Mother Mary019s little comfort now Every sinner019s ear is fastened to the ground Now that the Sandman019s back in town The waitress at the coffee shop, counting up the till A debutant, a mother or a child Looks so unassuming, his smile a sweet caress One more soul tossed in the lost and found Looks like the Sandman019s back in town Close your eyes, hush now, try to sleep There019ll be scarlet ribbons for your hair Don019t you hide, give into your dreams He019s all alone, and waiting for you there Hear the sirens singing, do you know the tune Pretty maidens standing in a row Moonlight is fading; the beds are all turned down Now that the Sandman019s back in town The waitress at the coffee shop, counting up the till A debutant, a mother or a child Looks so unassuming, his smile a sweet caress One more soul tossed in the lost and found Looks like the Sandman019s back in town Looks like the Sandman019s back in town
