About Kimberly Carroll
Expertise
I have been a huge fan of The Wallflowers from the very beginning. I have been known to annoy my friends because sometimes I just can`t shut up about them! I work in a record store so I am also knowledgeable about many other bands and artists, but The Wallflowers are my absolute favorite. I would love to answer any questions you have about them!

Answer
Hi Alan!

 So how great is "Sleepwalker"?  I taped the song off of the radio the first time I heard it and I haven't stopped playing it since.  I just need it to come out on CD because I think I'm about to wear my tape out!  Anyway, after listening to it as many times as I have, I believe I have mastered the lyrics.  Here's what I have been singing:

   Maybe I could be the one they adore
   That could be my reputation
   They're smiling from their lips they think I'm a whore
   I'm an educated virgin

   Sleepwalker don't be shy
   Don't open your eyes tonight
   You'll be the one that defends my life when I'm
      dead asleep dreaming

   Cupid don't draw back your bow
   Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
   I'll never be your valentine, the sleepwalker in me
   God only knows that I've tried

   Let me in let me drown or learn how to swim
   Just don't leave me at the window
   I could be the one to be your next best friend
   You may need someone to hold you

   Sleepwalker take this knife
   You may see someone tonight
   You'll be the one that saves my life when I'm
      dead asleep dreaming

   Cupid don't draw back your bow
   Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
   I'll never be your valentine, the sleepwalker in me
   God only knows that I've tried

   I'm in your movie and everyone looks sad
   And I can't hear your voice though I've tried
   But you never saw my best scene
   The one where I sleep
   I sleepwalk into your dreams

   Now sleepwalker what's my line?
   It's only a matter of time until I
   Learn to open up my eyes
   When I'm dead asleep dreaming

   Cupid don't draw back your bow
   Sam Cooke didn't know what I know
   I'll never be your valentine, the sleepwalker in me
   Now the sleepwalker in me
   Now the sleepwalker in me
   God only knows that I've tried

So those are what I believe the lyrics to be.  With Jakob's singing style, some of the words are slurred or shortened to fit into the meter, but you should find these to be pretty accurate.  If you have any other questions feel free to let me know!

         Kim
