Silent Drum

You left your towel on the shore

Tide rose up to pull you in

I was right behind my feet

In sandy dunes, I sunk so deep

Slowly you began to disappear

I know I have been here times before

Like a fly swarms on fallen fruit

Now I'm the only guest

In this hotel with empty halls

Silence is a wave that calls you back

Not close enough to see

I have you next to me

This fickle heart beats to your silent kind of drum

I won't let you be

Like the stones under the sea

This fickle heart beats to your silent kind of drum

We walked on the wire

Tightly stretched above the ground

Soon as I held on to you

I turned my head for something new

Lost my focus, swept into the fall

I'm lying down flat with my eyes open

Waking up, a re-run show is on

Letting in the draft to see

The walls we had were make-believe

Expanding and deflating with my lungs

Not close enough to see

I have you next to me

This fickle heart beats to your silent kind of drum

I won't let you be

Like the stones under the sea

This fickle heart beats to your silent kind of drum

Not close enough to see

I have you next to me

This fickle heart beats to your silent kind of drum
