Lover's Lullabye

Lay down and slumber

Mama's boy is torn asunder

All the fields have gone grey

All the leaves are gone brown

Let me tell you a story

Lay own, I know you're weary

While the star's in the sky

While the moon's on the rise

Lay down and don't you wake till morning

Close your eyes and helpless through the night

Lay down and dream of love and glory

This is a lover's lullabye

Once was a magician

Fair he was, and handsome

And he brought to the table

All the fool's gold and wine

And he promised us three favors

Said he was a saviour

But we drank all his glory

And we borrowed all his time

Lay down, and don't you wake till morning

Close your eyes and helpless through the night

Lay down and dream of love and glory

This is a lover's lullabye

My love, sleep tight my love

And softly fade away

The moon was made of old green cheese

To keep the night away

Softly now, close your eyes

Lightly will you fade

The moon was made for wakeful boys

To keep the night away

Lay down, and don't wake till morning

Close your eyes all through the night

Lay down in all your glory

This is a lullabye

Lay down, and don't wake till morning

Close your eyes all through the night

Lay down in all your glory

This is a lullabye

This is a lullabye
