Sand man

Sometimes I used to wonder,

Was there a land of sand?

And at night I ponder,

Was there really a man?

Who would come to your house every night,

With his little bag of sand?

Sprinkle a little in the eyes

And we're off to another land.

Of dreams and escapades,

From reality so cold.

I sure hope there's a sand man,

I really hope so.

But then again, I know that

He obviously isn't real,

He's just mere fiction,

Nothing but a tale.

Maybe he just isn't helping,

Me to fall asleep,

That's why I'm here writing,

Oh how, how I weep.

I really miss those dreams,

Of which in I fly,

It's really exciting,

But in the end I sigh,

It is not real,

It can never be,

It's too wonderful,

Unlike this world you see.

But still I really hope,

There is this little man,

Who comes round every night,

And sends you to another land.
