A cloud of eiderdown Draws around me Softening a 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 a dream The dream is gone Green fields, a cold rain It's 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
