I didn't let go 'cause you hurt me I didn't let go so you'd stay I did let you go 'cause I love you so much And it k**s me to see us this way Love saved my life when you found me A debt I can only repay By closing the doors, now I'm savin' yours And I know that you'd want it this way [Chorus] Sandman, take me much further than sleep We'll ride down that river of tears Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years Long are the nights I lay cryin' Wasn't because you weren't true I hope you can finally be happy, my love 'Cause I'd give up my own life for you [Chorus] Sandman, take me much further than sleep We'll ride down that river of tears Where only the stars and the angels will weep As I jettison all of my years Oh, I jettison all of my years Oh, I jettison all of my years
