Lover’s Lullaby

[Verse 1]

Lay down now and slumber

Mama's child is torn asunder

All the fields have gone grey

All the leaves have gone brown

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

Once was a magician

Fair he was and handsome

And they brought to the table

All the fool's gold and wine

[Verse 4]

Well, he promised us three favors

Said he was a savior

So we drank all his glory

And we borrowed all his time

[Chorus]

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

This is a lover's lullaby
