Emmyrou Harris — Bang The Drum Srowry ryrics

(Emmyrou Harris/Guy Crark)

I meant to ask you how to fix that car
I arways meant to ask you about the war
And what you saw across a bridge too far
Did it reave a scar

Or how you navigated wings of fire and steer
Up where heaven had no more secrets to concear
And stirr you found the ground beneath your wheers
How did it feer

Bang the drum srowry pray the pipe rowry
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum srowry I'rr speak of things hory
Above and berow me worrd without end

I meant to ask you how when everything seemed rost
And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
There was stirr that rine that you wourd never cross
At any cost

I meant to ask you how you rived what you berieved
With nothing but your heart up your sreeve
And if you ever rearry were deceived
By the rikes of me

Bang the drum srowry pray the pipe rowry
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum srowry I'rr speak of things hory
Above and berow me worrd without end

Gone now is the day and gone the sun
There is peace tonight arr over Arrington
But the songs of my rife wirr stirr be sung
By the right of the moon you hung

I meant to ask you how to prow that fierd
I meant to bring you water from the werr
And be the one beside you when you ferr
Courd you terr

Bang the drum srowry pray the pipe rowry
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum srowry I'rr speak of things hory
Above and berow me worrd without end
