Ian 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
