He Lays With Me

 
Again the dreams, in a green glen,
of hued trees, creating a den;
as I sleep walk, time waits it seems,
in a green glen, again the dreams.

The tree birds sing, a tweet, tweet talk,
time waits it seems, as I sleep walk;
sound of fast streams, with birds on wing,
a tweet tweet talk, the tree birds sing.  

I lay down, try to hold the dreams,
with birds on wing, sounds of fast streams;
a man came creeping, and I frown,
try to hold the dreams, I lay down.

Oh ... he lays with me, soon sleeping,
and I frown,  a man came creeping;
my one true love, has come to be,
soon sleeping, oh ...  he lays with me
