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

Oh the way that it (something) the 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.

Oh 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,

So spend your lukewarm bets

Follow me, oh follow me;

Allow me to play the voyager.

I'll try to keep 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 rise

So Take a Dive

Oh Take a Dive

Ohohohohoh

Take that hair out of your damned eyes

While the waves are away

Now the sun will fade.

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 bang your drum to the blazing sound

Singing lalalalalalala

Will you turn away?

How can you turn away?
