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.
I signed her last return today
The Alison file is empty now
With this last year she's over the brow...
Soon the winding counties will
Be lost behind me, motorways
And bending roads, the shopping malls...
