“Sandman” is the 10th release from Ed Sheeran’s fourth solo studio album, = Equals.
Sandman is a lullaby for his daughter, and placed after Visiting Hours on the track list to contrast.
[Verse 1]
You were loved before you had arrived
And every day that love just multiplies
Daddy made your bed and your lullaby
And Mumma made the mobile in the sky
And lovin' you is easy
But life will not always be
Fall into the world of your song
Whatever you feel could never be wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Come along for the ride
And in the shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Yeah, be still now and close your eyes
[Chorus]
And dream
Hangin' out with the Sandman
You look so sweet, my child
Hangin' out with the Sandman
Although there's rain outside, you'll bе warm and dry
The thunder and the lightning won't hurt you now
So go to sleep, my lovе
Hangin' out with the Sandman
[Verse 2]
Chocolate-covered roof and candy cars
Rainbow sugar river we can sail upon
Marshmallow books and strawberries
Snowmen made of ice cream
Over the flower fields, we'll fly
We'll count the fish in the sky
Honeybees and birds sing your song
Whatever you feel can never be wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Come along for the ride
And in the shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Yeah, be still now and close your eyes
[Chorus]
And dream
Hangin' out with the Sandman
You look so sweet, my child
Hangin' out with the Sandman
Although there's rain outside, you'll be warm and dry
The thunder and the lightning won't hurt you now
So go to sleep, my love
Hangin' out with the Sandman
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
Come along for the ride
And in the shake of a lamb's tail, we'll go
Yeah, be still now and close your eyes
[Chorus]
And dream
Hangin' out with the Sandman
You look so sweet, my child
Hangin' out with the Sandman
Although there's rain outside, you'll be warm and dry
The thunder and the lightning won't hurt you now
So go to sleep, my love
Hangin' out with the Sandman
[Outro]
We're hangin' out with the Sandman
We're hangin' out with the Sandman
We're hanging out with the Sandman

I wrote this song before my daughter was born. I thought, ‘She’s going to need a lullaby. What would she be dreaming about?’ This comes just after “Visiting Hours”, so you’ve got sadness and loss and then joy and life. I think it just diffuses the situation instantly after “Visiting Hours”.
