Adrian Belew - Of Bow & Drum Lyrics
Far away, said the matriarch,I once heard from the tongue of a larkOf golden daysOf bow and drumAnd of men who chased.Now they come in rags of greed,No regard for our dignity.She began to dreamAnd the wind did rageAnd the forest criedRun away, she told him then,Find a place to hide from them.Far away from behind a treeCame a sound to defy the peaceAnd the son went downQuietly in a pool of reedsOf bow and drumMonday, may 6, 1996
