Mr. Sandman
Dreams Unveiled: Sarah Price's Poetic Quest for Sleep
Lyrics
Hey Mr. Sandman
Addressing Mr. Sandman, likely a symbol of a dream provider or solace.
I know it's been some time
Acknowledging a lapse in contact, indicating a significant passage of time.
Tell me a story
Expressing a desire for a narrative, possibly seeking comfort in storytelling.
I have lost all of mine
Revealing a personal loss, suggesting emotional emptiness or hardship.
I can't go to sleep
Stating an inability to sleep, hinting at insomnia or inner turmoil.
My eyes won't fill with dreams
Describing a difficulty in experiencing positive dreams or imagination.
But you're calling me
Feeling a beckoning or connection with Mr. Sandman despite difficulties.
Hey Mr. Sandman, please
Making a plea for Mr. Sandman's assistance in finding restful sleep.
Hey Mr. Sandman
Repeating the plea, emphasizing the persistent need for help.
I've got so much on my mind
Indicating a mental burden that the speaker wishes to share.
If I share something with you
Seeking assurance of kindness before opening up to Mr. Sandman.
Will you promise to be kind
Expressing fear associated with sleep, possibly due to unsettling experiences.
I'm afraid to sleep
Revealing a tendency to encounter distressing dreams during sleep.
I only find bad dreams
Despite fears, Mr. Sandman's calling persists, suggesting a connection or hope.
But you're calling me
Reiterating the plea for Mr. Sandman's intervention for peaceful sleep.
Hey Mr. Sandman, please
Continuing the plea, emphasizing the urgency and need for assistance.
Hey Mr. Sandman
Addressing Mr. Sandman's busy nature, acknowledging the demand for dreams.
You're a busy guy, I know
Requesting a love song, possibly seeking solace or comfort through music.
Will you sing me a love song
Acknowledging the transitory nature of the encounter with Mr. Sandman.
Then I know you have to go
Anticipating a peaceful sleep if Mr. Sandman fulfills the request.
But I'll finally sleep
Expressing hope that positive dreams from Mr. Sandman will bring rest.
If you can fill my eyes with dreams
Believing Mr. Sandman's call can bring a transformative, restful experience.
You are calling me
Feeling a persistent connection or calling from Mr. Sandman.
Hey Mr. Sandman, please
Reiterating the plea for Mr. Sandman's assistance in finding restful sleep.
Hey Mr. Sandman, please
Concluding with a final plea for Mr. Sandman's intervention and help.
