Joni Mitchell - GO TELL THE DRUMMER MAN lyrics

Silver drums, rhythms that he hums

Waltzing dogs, that come when he calls

Plans for one he keeps in a coffer

What can I offer, I don't know

Can I bring him love words to sing him

Like some foolish magi

I'll be gone and words in a song

Won't even last till sunrise

Go tell the drummer man

The time glass is out of sand

Ask him to understand

And wait for me, and wait for me

Streets and parks

Waltzes in the dark

Lovers now, when time will allow

An afternoon, the kind to believe in

Why am I leaving? I don't know

Distant places, just empty spaces

Till we are together

What can I bring, time leaves me nothing

I wonder will it ever.

Go tell the drummer man

The time glass is out of sand

Ask him to understand

And wait for me, and wait for me

Silver birds fly away like words

In the wind, and soon I'll be in

Another world

The land of without him

What's it about, this other world

Go tell the drummer man

The time glass is out of sand

Ask him to understand

And wait for me, and wait for me
