Emmylou Harris - BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY (extended version) ♥<br />►/ Technical audio processing & video, by: Darko, 04.06.2024<br />BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY<br />I meant to ask you how to fix that car<br />I always meant to ask you about the war<br />And what you saw across a bridge too far<br />Did it leave a scar<br /><br />Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel<br />Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal<br />And still you found the ground beneath your wheels<br />How did it feel<br /><br />Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly<br />To dust be returning from dust we begin<br />Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy<br />Above and below me world without end<br /><br />I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost<br />And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed<br />There was still that line that you would never cross<br />At any cost<br /><br />I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed<br />With nothing but your heart up your sleeve<br />And if you ever really were deceived<br />By the likes of me<br /><br />Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly<br />To dust be returning from dust we begin<br />Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy<br />Above and below me world without end<br /><br />Gone now is the day and gone the sun<br />There is peace tonight all over Arlington<br />But the songs of my life will still be sung<br />By the light of the moon you hung<br /><br />I meant to ask you how to plow that field<br />I meant to bring you water from the well<br />And be the one beside you when you fell<br />Could you tell<br /><br />Bang the drum slowly, play the pipe lowly<br />To dust be returning from dust we begin<br />Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy<br />Above and below me world without end. <br /> /by Emmylou Harris/
