The sandman has given me a special gift
A sleepy dream memory of our first kiss
Cast a shadow in my direction
Cast a shadow in my direction
Bring back shadows of your affection
Cast a shadow in my direction yeah
If the sandman comes tonight I have a request
A snap-shot dreamy keepsake of your embrace
Cast a shadow in my direction
Cast a shadow in my direction
Bring back shadows of your affection
Cast a shadow in my direction
Bring back shadows over here
Bring back shadows of your face
We'll make shadow plays
We'll dig shallow graves
In my shady, shadow cave
Shadow grows longer in my twilight sleep
I stop then to remember I'm just counting sheep
Cast a shadow in my direction
Cast a shadow in my direction
Cast a shadow in my direction
Cast a shadow in my direction
