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
