Silver drums, rhythms that he hums
|
Waltzing dogs, that come when he calls
|
Plans for one he keeps in a coffer
|
What can I offer, I don't know
|
Can I bring him love words to sing him
|
Like some foolish magi
|
I'll be gone and words in a song
|
Won't even last till sunrise
|
|
Go tell the drummer man
|
The time glass is out of sand
|
Ask him to understand
|
And wait for me, and wait for me
|
|
Streets and parks
|
Waltzes in the dark
|
Lovers now, when time will allow
|
An afternoon, the kind to believe in
|
Why am I leaving? I don't know
|
Distant places, just empty spaces
|
Till we are together
|
What can I bring, time leaves me nothing
|
I wonder will it ever.
|
|
Go tell the drummer man
|
The time glass is out of sand
|
Ask him to understand
|
And wait for me, and wait for me
|
|
Silver birds fly away like words
|
In the wind, and soon I'll be in
|
Another world
|
The land of without him
|
What's it about, this other world
|
|
Go tell the drummer man
|
The time glass is out of sand
|
Ask him to understand
|
And wait for me, and wait for me
|
