If anyone knows, I was just curious.

Good one Aonghus, that didn't sound at all right to me. So the finished piece is something like

What he said to me was "It's isn't daybreak yet;
The household has gone to bed and I'm by myself"
What he said to me was "It's isn't daybreak yet;
Walk to the door and escape with me."
