Drinking Song Lyrics

Rob Dougan Drinking Song

I want to weave a musical spell
That leaves you unwell and thinkin' of me everyday
I want to play you a tune that'll 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 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
Its charm so endears that the whole nations cheer and sigh
When you take my hand

With 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 kiss you and weep

'Cause I'm a gambler, 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 flyin' 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 divide me
But I'm gonna 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 flyin' 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 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
So for one moment in time you'd find that you're mine
And softly I'd kiss you and weep
