Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sweet, gentle sleep
Soothe and refresh me
Weary am I of this life
And my fortune
[Verse 2]
Black velvet night
Do envelope me
Falling am I like a star
In a dark swoon
[Chorus]
Winter peeps
And silent creeps
Under hill, over dale
Autumn leaves
Like crimson wreaths
Sadly down the wind sail
The wind sail
[Chorus]
Little Linda
Glowing cinder
Sparkle like a star
Sun and roses
Merely shows us
'Xactly where we are
[Outro]
A jaguar, a hollow car
Far in the winter lane, oh
Lacework trees, the Jack Frost breeze
Pheasant birds are slain, oh
They're slain, oh
They're slain, oh
