a pillow of winds -- Pink Floyd

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.                                                (sing365)

 

This song is about peace, or tranquility. More specifically, sleep. It details the stages of sleep, the beginning is about the process of going to bed, the middle of course being about dreaming, and the end, waking up in the morning.                            (songfacts)
