Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
Waterloo to Brentford and back
To an horizon of writhing track
Rain on blue trains laying dust...
Reaching out across this day,
Missing you in every way,
I feel such desire to delight...
