Sound Of A Drum Lyrics - Poor Man's Heaven - Seth Lakeman

I come to you with honour 

I come to you in vain 

I've come to you my true love 

In the greenwood you were slain 

I do as much for my love 

As any young man may 

I'll sit and mourn her memory 

For twelve months and a day 

The sound of a drum 

Is beating all around 

Like a shadow on the run 

Caught in the dark 

And lover lay down 

She lay down 

I'll think upon this garden 

The purest footprints walked 

The fairest flower now blossomed 

Has now withered to a stalk 

Your lips they are cold sweetheart 

Your breath is earthly strong 

And if I kiss your cold clay lips 

My time here may not be long 

The sound of a drum 

Is beating all around 

Like a shadow on the run 

Caught in the dark 

And lover lay down 

She lay down 

Lover lay down 

She lay down 

The sound of a drum 

I hear it beating all around me 

Like a shadow on the run 

Caught in the dark 

The sound of a drum 

I hear it beating all around me 

Like a shadow on the run 

Caught in the dark 

She lay down
