Through the Sleepy Town Lyrics by The Three O’Clock

Vermillion

1988

[Verse 1]
The boy you thought was love has changed his mind
And now your sleep is hard to find
But there’s a sure escape where your pillow lies
Just rest your head and close your eyes
[Chorus]
The Sandman makes his rounds
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
The sandman makes no sound
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
[Verse 2]
He weaves a fantasy to bide your time
Until the morning brings the crime
He weaves a fantasy to ease your mind
Escape the life that’s so unkind
[Chorus]
The Sandman makes his rounds
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
The sandman makes no sound
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
[Bridge]
And dream the dawn will bring
Assumed peace of mind
[Verse 3]
Tomorrow brings no peace, you’ll run and hide
And curse the pain you feel inside
But there’s a sure escape where your pillow lies
Just rest your head and close your eyes
[Chorus]
The Sandman makes his rounds
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
The sandman makes no sound
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
[Chorus]
The Sandman makes his rounds
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
The sandman makes no sound
He rides the rails underground
Through the sleepy town
[Refrain]
Through the sleepy town
Through the sleepy town
Through the sleepy town
