Ian Janis 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
