Lay down now and slumber
Mama's boy is torn a - sunder
All the fields have gone grey
All the leaves are gone brown
Let me tell you a story
Lay down, I know you're weary
While the stars in the sky
While the moon's 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 lulla - by
Once was a ma - gician
Fair he was, and handsome
And he brought to the table
All the fool's gold and wine
Well, he promised us three favours
Said he was a savior
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 glo - ry
This is a lover's lulla - by my love
sleep tight my love
Softly fade a - way
The moon was made of old green cheese
To keep the night a - way
Soft - ly now, close your eyes
Lightly will you fade
The moon was made for wake - ful boys
To keep the night a - way
Lay down, don't wake 'til mornin'
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down in all your glo ry
This is a lover's lul - la - by - yy - yy -
Lay down, and don't wake 'til mornin'
Close your eyes all through the night
Lay down in all your glo - ry
This is a lover's lul - la - by - yy - yy -
This is a lover's lul - la - by - yy - yy -
