Lyrics
Talking Drum
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hear a voice I hear a sound
But nothing plays on my mind
I take the car I travel round
But nothing stays on my mind
What do you do when things go wrong?
I'm winning
In the heart of the bushland
What do you do when things go wrong?
I'm winning
In the heart of the bushland
But now I'm scared
Now I'm lost in love
All these things were never done
Your burning bridge my talking drum
Now we're too late for heaven
