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 own, I know you're weary
While the star's in the sky
While the moon's on the rise
Lay down and don't you wake till morning
Close your eyes and helpless through the night
Lay down and dream of love and glory
This is a lover's lullabye
Once was a magician
Fair he was, and handsome
And 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 till morning
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
And 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 wake till morning
Close your eyes all through the night
Lay down in all your glory
This is a lullabye
Lay down, and don't wake till morning
Close your eyes all through the night
Lay down in all your glory
This is a lullabye
This is a lullabye
Lay down 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 own, I know you're weary While the star's in the sky While the moon's on the rise Lay down and don't you wake till morning Close your eyes and helpless through the night Lay down and dream of love and glory This is a lover's lullabye Once was a magician Fair he was, and handsome And 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 till morning 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 And 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 wake till morning Close your eyes all through the night Lay down in all your glory This is a lullabye Lay down, and don't wake till morning Close your eyes all through the night Lay down in all your glory This is a lullabye This is a lullabye Explain Request ×
