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.
Stepping out from the wooden shed
Before me’s the garden (and then the house)
There's every shade, from deepest red...
I’m only cheerful cos I’m here
In a room with you
Your sleeping breath is soft and dear...
