Lyrics

[Verse 1] A cloud of eiderdown draws around me Softening the sound [Refrain] Sleepy time, when I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low [Bridge] And the candle dies [Verse 2] When night comes down, you lock the door The book falls to the floor As darkness falls and waves roll by The seasons change, the wind is warm [Verse 3] Now wakes the owl, now sleeps the swan Behold a dream, the dream is gone Green fields, a cold rain is falling In a golden dawn [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] And deep beneath the ground The early morning sounds And I go down [Refrain] Sleepy time, when I lie With my love by my side And she's breathing low [Outro] And I rise, like a bird In the haze, when the first rays Touch the sky And the night winds die
