This night is long and dark, like the one before I spend them both with eyes open, lying on the floor A man - a being of water, but after crying dry My head is like an hourglass with desert sand inside Careful and quiet, a loving hand Is placing beside you a grain of sand Your happiest dream is for you to dwell Goodnight, sweetheart. Sleep well. It's just a twist of fate, it's not for me to choose And now I'm on the edge and sand may be of use It's not about me, I hope you'll understand Your head is full of water, my hand is full of sand Careful and quiet, a loving hand Is placing beside you a grain of sand Your happiest dream is for you to dwell Goodnight, sweetheart. Sleep well. Baby, baby, don’t you cry Sand is falling from the sky You need just a single grain And the sky will pour down rain Single grain and pain will end I’m on my knees, I’m bleeding sand I’ll close the door, I’ll kill the light I’ll be your sandman for the night Careful and quiet, a loving hand Is placing beside you a grain of sand Your happiest dream is for you to dwell Goodnight, sweetheart. Sleep well.
