The air was neither night or a day
But faintly dark, dark with softest light
When first glimmered into sight
The cottage of lost play

You and me, we know the land
And often have been there in
The long days, old days
The dark child and a fair
Was it down the paths of firelight
Dreams in winter cold and white
Or in the blue-spun twilight, twilight hours
The air was neither night or day
But faintly dark with softest light
When first there glimmered into sight
The cottage lost of play

And why we never found the same
Old cottage or magic track that leads
Between a silver sea
Between a silver sea
And those old shores and gardens fair
Where all things are that over were
We know not, you and me
We know not, you and me

Those old shores and gardens fair
Where all things are
That ever were

* * *

The air was neither night or day
But faintly dark with softest light
When first there glimmered into sight
The cottage of lost play
And those old shores and gardens fair
Where all things are that ever were
We know not, you and me
We know not, you and me

* * *

And these old shores
And gardens fair where all
Where all things are
That ever were before
The air was neither night or day
But faintly dark with softest light
When first there glimmered
The cottage of lost play

The air was neither night or day
But faintly dark with softest light
When first there glimmered into sight
The cottage of lost play
And those old shores and gardens fair
Where all things are that ever were
We know not, you and me
We know not, you and me
