Lover's Lullaby Lyrics - Between The Lines - Janis Ian

Lay down now in slumber 

Mama's boy is torn assunder 

All the fields have gone grey 

All the leaves are gone brown. 

Let me tell you a story 

Lay down, I know your weary 

While the star's are in the sky 

While the moons 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 lullabye. 

There once was a magician 

Fair he was, and handsome 

Well, 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 'til mornin' 

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 

Softly fade away 

The moon was made of old green cheese 

To keep the night away. 

Softly now, close your eyes 

Lightly will fade 

The moon was made for wakefull boys 

To keep the night away.
