| Drinking Song |
| I want to weave a musical spell That leaves you unwell and thinking of me everyday I want to play you a tune that leaves you marooned and troubled Each time I'm away Is there a melody - that could lead you to me - like a lullabied child lead to sleep? So for one moment in time, you'd find that you're mine And softly I'd kiss you and weep I want to write a simple song that's so frequently sung That you call me to have the thing banned Who's sound so endears that whole nations cheer and sigh When you take my hand Is there a melody - that could lead you to me - like a lullabied child lead to sleep? So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine And softly I'd kiss you and weep God I'm a gambler that just wants to lose and be allowed to leave I'm a traveler - with one last mile my journey is complete I'm like a swallow that wants one long last look, before flying east Last on my list - and then I quit - to kiss your lips and weep I want to play a silver note that fills you with hope And tames you to feed from my hand A turquoise chord that invites you to soar And fly... to a faraway land A symphony that gently leads you to sit and be still with me And grief doesn't frighten me As its worst it delights me 'Cause I want to kiss you and weep For I'm a gambler that just wants to lose and be allowed to leave I'm a traveler - with one last mile my journey is complete I'm like a swallow that wants one long last look before flying east Last on my list - and then I quit - to kiss your lips and weep Is there a melody - that could lead you to me - like a lullubied child to sleep? So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine And softly I'd kiss you and weep So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine And softly I'd kiss you and weep |
