Sandman Lyrics

Cover art for Sandman lyrics by America

There's a lot of great suggestions here but I'm leaning towards two buddies (pilots) during WW II. One is back in the U.S. after a tour while the other remains in England. "Funny I've been there... you've been here...and we ain't had no time to drink that beer." The pilot back in the states suffers from post war depression and can't sleep at night... " I understand you've been running from the man that goes by the name of the Sandman..." The pilot remaining in England has signed on for another tour... "did you hear of my enlistment".
