I dreamed I rolled on the ocean floor 
In the sunken bones of a broken ship 
On the shadow line where whispers creep 
To the world above from the world beneath 

On waves of silver I dreamed of gold 
'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives 
I dreamed of the moment of my own death 
That no one ever dreams and lives 

I dreamed I sailed to the mirrored edge 
Of the murky world for an iron bell 
That dragged me down to the ocean depths 
And rang to mark where my shadow fell 

On waves of silver I dreamed of gold 
'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives 
I dreamed of the moment of my own death 
That no one ever dreams and lives 
That no one ever dreams and lives 

I dreamed I slept on the ocean bed 
In a silent grave of silver sand 
And rolled in the sway of an iron bell 
I've heard it said when they go to sea 
On stormy nights you can hear her moan 
She tolls for the mourning of my own death 
And echoes here on the village stones 

I dreamed of silver I dreamed of gold 
'Till I lost the peace that dreaming gives 
I dreamed of the moment of my own death 
That no one ever dreams and lives 
That no one ever dreams and lives
