A 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 night comes 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 the dream
The dream is gone.
Green fields, a 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 winds die.
