We Beat the Drum

No good at conversation I'm the dry and silent kind
like to spend my time alone
but we're stuck out on this mountaintop
now every bridge we cross
stands for all the time I've lost

You're a silly girl I'm a single man
I wasn't chasing clouds around
like to stay In my part of town
you're the bird in hand I'm a stony crow
honey, don't you know
take me anywhere you want to go

so till we get this job done
I won't ask you favours but for one
when you look back on these days gone by
you'll say, oh hell, we beat the drum!

The morning comes, the nlghtlme fades
the world has us again
though we left no stone unturned
though we did our best to stop the time
but time will not be fooled
here's another lesson learned
You're a fearless girl with a forgetful man
we've been chasing stars around
counting the lucky ones we found

but till we get this job done
I won't ask you favours but for one
when you look back on these days gone by
you'll say, oh hell, we beat the drum!

Don't have no road to speak of
never really went that far
I was a slow moving railway car
but if there's some kind of moral to my song
it just has to be
sometimes you gotta go where you don't belong
