Delirium Lyrics

Delirium lyrics

But on every branch and twig  
Was your pursuing face  
I went to the fertile shore yesterday  
To gather cockles for a meal  
Every single shell was filled with  
Your beauty my love  
 
I went into the alehouse  
To expel you from my head  
Every glass I raised your beauty  
Overflowed from it  
I went early to bed last night  
To escape you in sleep  
But you kept me awake till  
I`d make you a song  
 
I`d wish we were torn asunder  
Were we not apart  
Let your presence replace my image of you  
And how I`d rejoice  
You`ve brought me to foolish babbling  
Tiring friends with praise of you  
When you return they`ll see that  
My words are true  
 
They`ll see mountains dance with ripples  
Mole and eagle step the reel  
Red rasp held by king sea-tangle  
Sport before their eyes  
They`ll see you and me make merry  
Lip to lip our breath as one  
Caressing thus forever  
Together our reward...
