text: 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 and 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
  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
