Rob Dougan - Drinking Song lyrics

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

It's charms 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

'Cause 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

But I'm gonna 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
