Distant Drums

[Verse 1]
I hear the sound of distant drums
Far away, far away
And when they call for me to come
Then, I must go, and you must stay

[Chorus]
So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait
Let's share all the times we can before it's too late
And love me now, for now is all the time there may be
And if you love me, Mary; Mary, marry me

[Verse 2]
I hear the sound of bugles blow
Far away, far away
And when they call, then I must go
Who knows where, or who can say?

[Chorus]
So, Mary, marry me, let's not wait
For those distant drums might change our wedding date
And love me now, for now is all the time that may be
And if you love me, Mary; Mary, marry me
