Lover's Lullaby Composer(s): Janis Ian Performer(s): Janis Ian; The Walker Brothers
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 morning 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 favors Said he was a savior We drank all his glory and we borrowed all his time
Lay down and don't you wake 'til morning 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
