I'm circling around you
We're headed for the starlight in the meantime
I love your spiral hair
That you remove and lay it there around me
Sometimes the starlight
Sometimes the starlight disappears
When we go across the river don't stare
At the other side
I know you wanted toDon't cover your eyes when it draws you down
Softly it crawls back underneath your crownOh no he's coming
Oh no he's coming to take you
To gather up his favorite
He's gathering his favorite milkmaid
Don't let him take you
Don't let him take you with him
Back when you were younger you made a sound
It was a lovely sound
Oh what a lovely soundDon't cover your eyes when it draws you down
Softly it crawls back underneath your crown
