A cloud of eider down

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 boot 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 is falling

Near the golden dawn.

And deep beneath the ground

The early morning sounds and I go down

Sleepy time in my life

With my love by my side

And she's breathing low

And I rise like a bird

In the haze and the first rays touch the sky

And the night winds die.
