Silent Drums

With the last kiss of summer on the lips of the year The clock chimes 12, the dogs lie still, and I fear That I'll lose myself, well, my hands are tied and bound I know now is happening Have I lived my life with no lesson learnt at all And did I miss the starting gun? No, I don't know In the anti-sceptic hours when the light shines in I know now is happening From the corner of the Western Isles To the peak of the antipodes We are marching to the silent drums Listen, can you hear them? Well, the dew-laced cobwebs decorate the frail day in the fresh dawn And the long dark nights and the chimneys rise with the news of the season All our endless numbered days in a melody Lover, do you believe? From the sun rising in the east To the dawn across the Hebrides We are marching to the silent drums Listen, can you hear them? From the corner of the Western Isles To the peak of the antipodes We are marching to the silent drums Listen, can you hear them? Oh my love, save my soul, 'cause now is happening Oh my love, save my soul, now is happening Oh my love, save my soul, now is happening Oh my love, save my soul, now is happening From the corner of the Western Isles To the peak of the antipodes We are marching to the silent drums Listen, can you hear them? From the sun rising in the east To the dawn across the Hebrides We are marching to the silent drums Listen, listen, listen Oh my love, save my soul, 'cause now is happening Oh my love, save my soul, now is happening Oh my love, save my soul, now is happening Oh my love, save my soul
