Lyrics

I'm circling around you

I am moving in a circular path around you.

We're headed for the starlight in the meantime

We are heading towards the starlight in the meantime.

I love your spiral hair

I admire your spiral hair.

That you remove and lay it there around me

You remove your spiral hair and place it around me.

Sometimes the starlight

At times, the starlight is present.

Sometimes the starlight disappears

However, sometimes the starlight disappears.

When we go across the river don't stare

During our journey across the river, don't gaze at the other side.

At the other side

Avoid looking at what's on the other side.

I know you wanted to

I understand that you desired to look.


Don't cover your eyes when it draws you down

When it draws you down, don't cover your eyes.

Softly it crawls back underneath your crown

Softly, it retreats beneath your crown.


Oh no he's coming

Someone is approaching.

Oh no he's coming to take you

There is concern that this person is coming to take you away.

To gather up his favorite

He is collecting his favorite.

He's gathering his favorite milkmaid

Specifically, he is gathering his favorite milkmaid.

Don't let him take you

There is a plea not to allow him to take you.

Don't let him take you with him

A repetition of the plea not to let him take you with him.

Back when you were younger you made a sound

When you were younger, you produced a sound.

It was a lovely sound

This sound was lovely.

Oh what a lovely sound

Emphasizing how beautiful the sound was.


Don't cover your eyes when it draws you down

When it draws you down, don't cover your eyes again.

Softly it crawls back underneath your crown

Similar to line 12, softly it retreats beneath your crown.
