lyrics

The Ancient Drum

Once a subtle sound surrounded me
It was very small but I could hear it sing
a song begun so long ago ...
I forgot it, but somehow I still know

It must have been the ancient drum and forever hum
calling me back to wherever I'm from

Once I stayed so very still
I felt my heart begin to fill
and it overflowed onto my floor
filled my cup and shook my core

It must have been the ancient drum and forever hum
calling me back to wherever I'm from

and that fairest one she is my friend
we got plans to meet again ·
around the well where the water is found
rising up from underneath the ground
and that subtle sound that surrounds me
its very small but I can hear it sing
a song begun so long ago
I forgot it but somehow I still know...
