Away, away foul dream
You're gonna listen now to me
No rules, or in betweens
You're gonna listen now to me
Waste all your time
Find another kind of boy
A feint up on the line
A phantom I don't care to hold
Come on along on an eastern shore
Come on along, you're mine
Come on along on a winter's morn
Come on along, you're mine
You're mine
In sight
The drum and fife with steam
Racing scene to scene
To break this beast with need
'Cause I will bang this drum till my dying day
In mind. A fetching June
You're gonna listen now to me
What's done, what's left as ruin
You're gonna listen now to me
Come on along on an eastern shore
Come on along, you're mine
Come on along on a winter's morn
Come on along, you're mine
You're mine
In sight
The drum and fife with steam
Racing scene to scene
To break this beast with need
To remedy what's been bleeding
'Cause I will bang this drum till my dying
I will bang this drum till my dying
I will bang this drum till my dying day
'Cause I will bang this drum till my dying day
Don't you ever be afraid
Don't you ever be afraid
Don't you ever be afraid
No more, no more, no more
'Cause I will bang this drum till my dying day
Don't you ever be afraid
'Cause I will bang this drum till my dying
I will bang this drum till my dying
I will bang this drum till my dying day
'Cause I will bang this drum
