Drinking Song

(Rob Dougan)

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 thats so frequently sung
That you call me to have the thing banned
Its charm so endear whole nations will cheer
And sigh, when you 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

For I’m a gambler
Who just wants to lose
And be allowed to leave
I’m a traveller
With one last mile
My journey is complete
And like a swallow that wants
Just 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
And sadness try to blind me
But I’m going to kiss you and weep

For I’m a gambler
Who just wants to lose
And be allowed to leave
I’m a traveller
With one last mile
My journey is complete
And like a swallow that wants
Just 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 lead 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
