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 wry

Now wakes the hour

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
