Capercaillie - Delirium lyrics

But on every branch and twig

Was your pursuing face

I went to the fertile shore yesterday

To gather cockles for a meal

Every single shell was filled with

Your beauty my love

I went into the alehouse

To expel you from my head

Every glass I raised your beauty

Overflowed from it

I went early to bed last night

To escape you in sleep

But you kept me awake till

I'd make you a song

I'd wish we were torn asunder

Were we not apart

Let your presence replace my image of you

And how I'd rejoice

You've brought me to foolish babbling

Tiring friends with praise of you

When you return they'll see that

My words are true

They'll see mountains dance with ripples

Mole and eagle step the reel

Red rasp held by king sea-tangle

Sport before their eyes

They'll see you and me make merry

Lip to lip our breath as one

Caressing thus forever

Together our reward...
