Текст (слова) песни «Beat a Drum»
the sun reflected in the back of my eye
I knocked my head against the sky
the dragonflies are busy buzzing me
seahorses if we were in the sea
halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.
my fall knocked a mean chip out of me
I'm gathering as far as I can reach
we're perched upon the precipice
and this is what I've seen
this is all I want it's all I need
this is all I am it's everything
this is all I want it's all I need
a bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree
a doctorate in science and a theologian's
dream
the dragonflies are trying to lecture me
seahorses if we we're in the sea
this is all I want it's all I need
this is all I am it's everything
this is all I want it's all I need
beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing
tropical storm across the ocean
don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know.
don't forget, we're just halfway from coal
this is all I want it's all I need
this is all I am it's everything
this is all I want it's all I need
I knocked my head against the sky
the dragonflies are busy buzzing me
seahorses if we were in the sea
halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.
my fall knocked a mean chip out of me
I'm gathering as far as I can reach
we're perched upon the precipice
and this is what I've seen
this is all I want it's all I need
this is all I am it's everything
this is all I want it's all I need
a bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree
a doctorate in science and a theologian's
dream
the dragonflies are trying to lecture me
seahorses if we we're in the sea
this is all I want it's all I need
this is all I am it's everything
this is all I want it's all I need
beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing
tropical storm across the ocean
don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know.
don't forget, we're just halfway from coal
this is all I want it's all I need
this is all I am it's everything
this is all I want it's all I need
