Kettle Drum

Grass fought through the snow.

Just like the rest,

It grew to grow.

And somewhere,

On some doorstep,

A few curious knocks,

Fill an empty house.

I left a note,

And I hope you found it,

My old friend.

(I've been wondering)

(I've been wondering)

Alone,

I headed through,

With all I ever had an all I knew.

And as I walked along,

The wind through the leaves in the tress built like a song.

And I like to sing,

So I sang along.

Banging on a kettle drum

An army's gone,

A war was won,

And we could talk for hours,

Or even not at all.

(I've been wondering)

(I've been wondering)

(I've been wondering)

(I've been wondering)

Once I ached for something,

Something good and whole and true,

And all my own.

Didn't I tell you,

If I could find it,

I'd leave a note?

I left a note.

Banging on a kettle drum

An army's gone,

A war was won,

And we could talk for hours,

Or even not at all.
