A PILLOW OF WINDS

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.
