[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
