The Drum Songtext
von The High Dials

The man that you knew, love, is gone
So long, so long
The wind came and blew him to sea
Let him be, let it be

He had no roots in the ground
Just his boots, wet and brown
With the mud of this old place
Singing mad songs at the sun
To a little boy′s drum
Hear it beat in his heart, oh
Hear how the words leave his lips
They dissolve there like mist
Pulled apart in the wind


Tears welled up true in his eyes
Though he was not surprised
When the time came to go, no
Send him your love if you wish
'Cause you know it is missed
He cries out in the night, oh
Beats in my heart do the trick
As when you were the stick
And my soul was the skin

Beats in my heart do the trick
Like when you were the stick
And my soul was the skin

Oh, my darling
My soul aches for that love to strike
So I can return
And stay there as long as I like

The man that you knew, love, is gone
So long, so long
The wind came and blew him to sea
Let it be, let it be
