"Sleep" lyrics - DONOVAN

Sweet, gentle sleep
Soothe and refresh me
Weary am I of this life
And my fortune

Black velvet night
Do envelope me
Falling am I, like a star
In a dark swoon

Winter peeps
And silent creeps
Under hill, over dale
Autumn leaves
Like crimson wreaths
Sadly down the wind sail
The wind sail

Little Linda
Glowing cinder
Sparkle like a star
Sun and roses
Merely shows us
Exactly where we are

A jaguar, a hollow car
Far in the winter lane-o
Lacework trees, the Jack Frost breeze
Pheasant birds are slain-o
They're slain-o
They're slain-o
