Japanese Sandman |
| Won’t you stretch imagination for the moment and come with me |
| Let us hasten to a nation lying over the western sea |
| Hide behind the cherry blossoms here’s a sight that will please your eyes |
| There’s a baby with a lady of Japan singing lullabies |
| Night winds breath her sighs here’s the Japanese |
| Just as silent as we came we’ll leave the land of the painted fan |
| Wander lightly or you’ll wake the little people of old Japan |
| May repose and pleasant dreaming be their share while the hours are small |
| Like an echo of the song I hear the Japanese Sandman |
| Call new days near for all here’s the Japanese |
| Sandman sneaking on with the dew just an old second hand man |
| He’ll buy your old day from you |
| He will take every sorrow of the day that is through |
| And he’ll give you tomorrow just to start a life anew |
| Then you’ll be a bit older in the dawn when you wake |
| And you’ll be a bit bolder with the new day you make |
| Here’s the Japanese Sandman trade him silver for gold |
| Just an old second hand man trading new days for old. |
