Cantaria is a good place which covers many lyrics sites. The link took me right back to Mudcat.

THE BALLAD OF ANNE FRANK

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 shiny 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 Zuider 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 chimneys in the east, and the black smoke from them billows.
And it slowly swept across the land till it covered every 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 dreaming.
For the sun will warm the earth again and dry up all the sorrow.
The flowers that faded yesterday will bloom again tomorrow. CHORUS
