"Don't Forget About Delight" lyrics - BRUCE COCKBURN

Amid the rumours and the expectations
And all the stories dreamt and lived
Amid the clangour and the dislocation
And things to fear and to forgive

Don't forget
About delight
Y know what I'm saying to you
Don't forget
About delight
Y know

Amid the post-ironic postulating
And the poets' pilfered rhymes
Meaning feels like it's evaporating
Out of sight and out of mind

Don't forget
About delight
Y know what I'm saying to you
Don't forget
About delight
Y know

Though you find yourself alone and stranded
With no friend to take your side
On the endless road afoot and empty-handed
Where the wild-eyed Cossacks ride

Don't forget
About delight
Y know what I'm saying to you
Don't forget
About delight
Y know

Spring birds peck among the pressed-down grasses
Clouds like zeppelins cross the sky
Anger drips and pools and then it passes
And I say a prayer that I

Don't forget
About delight
Y know what I'm saying to you
Don't forget
About delight
Y know
