Emmylou Harris - Bang The Drum Slowly

Emmylou Harris

Bang The Drum Slowly

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

Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel
Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
How did it feel.

Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Above and below me world without end.

I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost
And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
There was still that line that you would never cross
At any cost.

I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
And if you ever really were deceived
By the likes of me.

Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Above and below me world without end.

Gone now is the day and gone the sun
There is peace tonight all over Arlington
But the songs of my life will still be sung
By the light of the moon you hung.

I meant to ask you how to plow that field
I meant to bring you water from the well
And be the one beside you when you fell
Could you tell.

Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Above and below me world without end...

Mirror lyrics:

Above and below me world without end...
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly

Could you tell.
And be the one beside you when you fell
I meant to bring you water from the well
I meant to ask you how to plow that field

By the light of the moon you hung.
But the songs of my life will still be sung
There is peace tonight all over Arlington
Gone now is the day and gone the sun

Above and below me world without end.
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly

By the likes of me.
And if you ever really were deceived
With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed

At any cost.
There was still that line that you would never cross
And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost

Above and below me world without end.
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
To dust be returning from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly

How did it feel.
And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel

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