Abscond - Baths

If I scale the castle wall, will that do

Win your affection if I fall, call truce

We boys like bells, like gongs

That put the town into a song

Get used to the wrongs

I’m gonna do for you

Get used to the wrong

I’m gonna do to you when you ask

Your move

Won’t you come down from your chambers and speak

Nightgown and candle down the staircase to me

We boys like birds, our tongues and words

The guards have never heard

Get used to the wrongs

I’m gonna do for you

Get used to the wrong

I’m gonna do to you when you ask

Horseback

In the middle of the night

I know a route out

We could be far, enough by daylight

Pack quickly, be discreet beneath the night sky

Sweet veil of our relief

We’re gone

You’re the ire of your father

But the other half of me

Would I define young love in a rhyme, would that suit

We could abscond, be gone, on our way

We boys like bells, like gongs

That put the town into a song

Get used to the wrongs

I’m gonna do for you

Get used to the wrong

I’m gonna do to you when you ask

Your move

Won’t you come down from your chambers and speak

Nightgown and candle down the staircase to me

We boys like birds, our tongues and words

The guards have never heard

Get used to the wrongs

I’m gonna do for you

Get used to the wrong

I’m gonna do to you when you ask

Horseback

In the middle of the night

I know a route out

We could be far enough by daylight

Pack quickly, be discreet beneath the night sky

Sweet will of our relief

We’re gone

You’re the ire of your father

But the other half of me

You’re the ire of your father

But the other half of me
