Lover's LullabyLay down now in slumberMama's boy is torn assunder All the fields have gone grey All the leaves are gone brown Let me tell you a story Lay down, I know your weary While the star's are in the sky While the moons on the rise Lay down and don't you wake 'til mornin' Close your eyes and helpless through the night Lay down and dream of love and glory This is a lover's lullabye There once was a magician Fair he was, and handsome Well, 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 'til mornin' 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 Softly fade away The moon was made of old green cheese To keep the night away Softly now, close your eyes Lightly will fade The moon was made for wakefull boys To keep the night away Lay down, and don't wake 'til mornin' Close your eyes all through the night Lay down and dream of love and glory This is a lullabye Lay Down, and don't wake 'til mornin' Close your eyes all through the night Lay down in all your glory This is a lullabye This is a lullabye |
