Sleepmaker Lyrics by Paul Young

Behind the Lens

0

I don't know where you go to baby
When you are in your head
Looking around I’m thinking maybe
I'd rather be there instead

Chasing Emily through the meadow
Down on Zander's farm
Lay your head down upon your pillow
You won’t come to harm

I know better now (baby I'm the Sleepmaker)
And with dreams I endow (baby I'm the Sleepmaker)
Count the sheep past your eyes
When you fall in my arms I claim my prize
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker

Everyone's in a humdrum hurry
Only themselves to blame
You're on a cloud away from worry
Driving a runaway train

Watch the smoke as it starts to wander
Far across the sky
Holding on to your blue umbrella
You'll be safe and dry

I know better now (baby I'm the Sleepmaker)
And with dreams I endow (baby I’m the Sleepmaker)
Count the sheep past your eyes
When you fall in my arms I claim my prize
Baby I’m the Sleepmaker

Count the sheep past your eyes
When you fall in my arms I claim my prize
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker

I’m the Sleepmaker
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker
Yeah, I'm the Sleepmaker
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker
Baby I’m the Sleepmaker
Sleep now
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker
Ten, nine, eight
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker
Seven, six, five
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker
Baby I'm the Sleepmaker
