Bang Your Drum

The dying light was nearly dead By the time we reached the water’s edge. We saw the river beating on the river bank For the way that it held it in her riverbed. It’s cold, it’s dark, It’s not for people with uneasy hearts. But if you’re with me on the other side, Strike up the band; we have survived. E x3 And do they beat that drum to get you back home, Or do they beat it to keep you away? Don’t be surprised at your regrets. Don’t be surprised that the water made you wet. There’s a shallow down river Where the water will forgive you, Soft skin, your lukewarm beds Follow me, oh follow me; Allow me to play the voyager. I’ll try to keep you as dry As the hollowed out tree that You would be wrapped in another man’s fur So take a dive Oh take a dive Oh take it out on the stepping stones that make the water lie So take a dive, oh take a dive Ohohohoh-ohohoh, ohohohoh-ohohoh Take that hair out of your damned eyes While the waves are rain And the sum you'll pay. Do they beat that drum to get you back home, Or do they beat it to keep you away? Will you burn your bridges down Singing lalalalalalala Will you burn your bridges down Singing lalalalalalala Will you bang your drum to the blazing sound Singing lalalalalalala Will you turn away? How can you turn away?
