What did you dream my love my love, that woke you from your sleep
I dreamt I saw the soldiers, again march up our
street
I saw them in their uniforms and their boots of shinny leather
And I knew when they came to my front door the
day would go no farther
Chorus
And the wind blows cold from the Zider Zee and Amsterdam is weeping
But Vincent's tears can't wash away the shame
that we are feeling
And what did you dream my love my love that keeps you now from sleeping
I heard the soldiers on the stairs, in foreign
tongues they're speaking
And they took me to the railway yard where the carriages were waiting
For on their sleeve was
a crooked cross, on my heart was the star of David
Chorus
What did you dream my love my love, there are tears upon your pillow
I saw the chimney's in the east and the black
smoke from them billows
And it slowly swept across the land til it covered ever nation
But no one heard my lonesome
cry or came to my salvation
Chorus
So sleep my love it's over now, it's time that you were leaving
The morning stars are fading fast, there's no more
time for dreamin'
For the sun will warm the earth again and dry up all the sorrow
The flowers that faded yesterday will
bloom again tomorrow
