[Occasionally Dan switches back to the original first bar from the intro and plays a high Ab on the B string]
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 stomp 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 they're wandering all across the country
And they're walking in their sleep

[Back to the original pattern]
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 as 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 stomp your feet
You'll wake the girls and boys who are walking in their sleep
