Sandman’s Song Lyrics by Anne Briggs

The Time Has Come

0

Hello there sandman
Won’t you come in sit yourself down?
Hey hey there sandman
I know you’ve been working downtown

I don’t mind you keeping me waiting
Won’t be long before the dawn is breaking
C’mon sandman it’s very quiet
C’mon sandman you stay the night
We’ll wake up in the broad daylight

I dreamed I was walkin’ I went steppin’ beside the sea
When suddenly a stranger he came following after me
He caught me up he says help me if you can
For I work on the beach I’m the punch and judy man

Every night when ‘fore I go home
I realize I’m not alone
There’s voices in the sea colored lights in the foam
We walked together and I formulated a plan
And I said just wait there
I fetched the family photograph man

Told him the words the puppeteer had said
And he answered he thought it the boat of the dead
So we waited til the dark,we saw a silver moonlit arc
Beneath it sailed a shining bark

Out on the tideline, strange singing voices we heard
So like some color, or the flight of a golden bird
Fine rainfall drifted from the sky
And the golden bark with her cargo sailed by
We waited on the land, we were dancing hand in hand
Wheeling across the shining sand

Hello there sandman
Won’t you come in, sit yourself down?
Hey hey there sandman
I know you’ve been working downtown

I don’t mind you keeping me waiting
It won’t be long before the dawn is breaking
C’mon sandman it’s very quiet
C’mon sandman stay the night
We’ll wake up in the broad daylight
