Peter Koppes - Lulla lyrics

Lay down your head, o'weary soldier

Lay down your head upon my knee

The fat is warm from here to heaven

It's just the way it's supposed to be

La, la, la, la

La, la, la, laa-la

It's just the way it's supposed to be

Lay down your head, o'weary sailor

Lay down your head out on the sea

And ride the waves ??? (high oer'd?) troubles

It's just the way it's supposed to be

Lay down your head, o'weary fire

Lay down your head here close to me

The winds of change may blow you wayward

It's just the way it's supposed to be

Lay down your head, my little children

Lay down your heads the night is deep

And like a dream the day is over

It's just the way it's supposed to be

Lay down your heads upon the pillows

Lay down your head it's time to sleep

And ??? (raised adorned?) may your true wishes

Be the way they're supposed to be

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm

It's just the way it's supposed to be
