Lay down now 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 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 lullaby      Once was a magician   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 glory   This is a lover's lullaby      Bye, 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 you fade   The moon was made for wakeful boys   To keep the night away      Lay down and don't you wake 'til mornin'   Close your eyes all through the night   Lay down in all your glory   This is a lullaby      Lay down and don't you wake 'til mornin'   Close your eyes all through the night   Lay down in all your glory   This is a lullaby, this is a lullaby
