See them over there

See them moving down the road

Their arms held out ahead

And their eyes, their eyes are closed



Don't make any noise

Cry out loud or stamp your feet

You'll wake the girls and boys

Who are walking in their sleep



Every night they throw aside their blankets

Swing their feet down

Stand up and move out to the street

Like they're under a spell

And together they roam across the country

And they're walking in their sleep



You'll recognize them when you see

Their rumpled hair and stocking feet

It seems like they want something

But we don't know what it is

But here they come again

Yes, here they come again



Move aside and let the people go by

They don't see you

Thinking that they're home in their beds

They must not be disturbed

When they're wandering all across the country

And they're walking in their sleep



Perhaps when they awake

They'll remember everything

They'll think it was a dream

It will be forgotten then



But don't make any noise

Cry out loud or stamp your feet

You'll wake the girls and boys

Who are walking in their sleep
