The song is called "Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes (for Celia)". The words are by 17th-century poet Ben Jonson. The melody is 18th-century (probably), but who actually wrote it is not known.
I absolutely love this song. Hope he does it live at one of the upcoming gigs. The man is absolutely amazing. A complete legend and so original and involved with his fans.
Hm, actually this loses some merit since neither man seems to know the words haha. "Doth... rise.... dorth.... divine" -,-;

This actually melts my heart. I think it's so beautiful. This live version is even better than the CD version.
