1. Sleepy time when I lie
with my love by my side,
and she's breathing low.
*: And the candle dies.
2. When night comes down,
you lock the door.
The book falls to the floor.
3. As darkness falls
and waves roll by,
the seasons change.
4. The wind is warm.
Now wakes the owl.
Now sleeps the swan.
*: Behold a dream,
the dream is gone.
5. Green fields,
a cold rain is falling
in a golden dawn.
6. And deep beneath the ground
the early morning sounds
and I go down.
7. Sleeping time when I lie
with my love by my side
and she's breathing low.
8. And I rise like a bird
in the haze when the first rays
touch the sky.
*: And the night winds die.
