Once in a dream lived a maiden of wind

She lived in a room where all day she would spin

There by her window early in the spring

I would sit back and to her I would sing

La la, to her I would sing

You do the baking and I'll do the making

How our lives will rhyme

You do the baking and I'll do the making

Spinning and singing together

Our time away, our time away

Every new morning would bring a new day

Like life in its passing, it never would stay

And I sang through the summer and then it was the fall

And if you passed by you could hear my voice call

Oh yeah, you could hear my voice call

You do the baking and I'll do the making

How our lives will rhyme

You do the baking and I'll do the making

Spinning and singing together

Our time away, our time away

Now it's winter and the ground is snow

I don't go 'cause it's too cold

But when the sun brings the birds on the wing

I'm gonna sit back and to her I will say

Oh yeah, oh yeah, now everybody

You do the baking and I'll do the making

How our lives will rhyme

You do the baking and I'll do the making

Spinning and singing together

Our time away, our time away
