Inspiration don't leave me just today
Cos I've got thoughts
And I've got plans
And I've got things to say
It's been a long time since I've drank you're sweet wine
If you could be so kind
And fill this glass of mine
In your memory I'll drink this night
Inspiration don't leave me all alone
Cos we've been friends since we first met
And that's some time ago
It's been a long time since you stoked my dying fires
If you could be so kind
And come sit by my side
In your company I would delight
I looked for you this morning and I looked for you last night
And I thought I saw you in the river
But you swam right out of sight
I looked for you in silence
And in the flying of a kite
I tried to find the words
But they just never came out right
And it's been a long time since I've swam upon your tides
If you could be so kind
And flood into my mind
In your waters wide I'll bathe this night
Inspiration don't leave me just today
Cos I've got thoughts and I've got plans
And I've got things to say
It's been a long time since I've drank your sweet wine
If you could be so kind
And fill this glass of mine
In your memory I'll drink this night
