Sleep on, sweet little child

Day is young

Water is freezing (don't wake)

Night is so deep and slow

Close your eyes

Dream on, dear little child

In the sky, stars are still fading away

Down here, a dying dove crawls

Sleep on, dear little child

Day is young

When you'll wake

You will see

Creep on, my little dove

When you rise, snow will be melting away

Dawn is the darkest tonight

So I dream on

My little doves flies the sky high over the clouds and the flames

I'm here with my eyes closed, my doves

Dream on, dear little doves

Dawn will come
