A cloud of eiderdown
Draws around me
Softening a sound
Sleepy time,and I lie,
With my love by my side,
And she's breathing low
Andthe candle dies
When night comes down
You lock the door
Thebook falls to the floor
As darkness falls
The waves roll by,
Theseasons change
The wind is wry
Now wakes the hour
Now sleepsthe swan
Behold the dream
The dream is gone
Green fields arecalling
It's falling, in a golden door
And deep beneath the ground,
The early morning sounds
And I go down
Sleepy time, and 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
Andthe night wings die
