cloud of eiderdown
Draws around me
Softening the sound

Sleepy time When I lie
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low
And the candle dies

When [bad word] down You lock the door
The book falls to the floor
As darkness falls The waves roll by
The seasons change The wind is warm

Now wakes the owl Now sleeps the swan
Behold a dream The dream is gone
Green fields of cold rain Is falling in a golden dawn

And deep beneath the ground
The early morning sounds
And I go down
Sleepy time when I lie
With my love by my side
And she's breathing low

And I rise,like a bird
In the haze
When the first rays touch the sky

And the night wings die
