Go Tell The Drummer Man Lyrics - Joni Mitchell

Silver drums, rhythms that he hums 

Waltzing dogs that come when he calls 

Plans for one he keeps in a coffer 

What can I offer, I don't know 

Can I bring him, love words to sing him 

Like some foolish magi 

I'll be gone and words in a song 

Won't even last till sunrise 

Go tell the drummer man 

The time glass is out of sand 

Ask him to understand 

And wait for me and wait for me

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Streets and parks, waltzes in the dark 

Lovers now when time will allow 

An afternoon, the kind to believe in 

Why am I leaving I don't know 

Distant places, just empty spaces 

Till we are together 

What can I bring, time leaves me nothing 

I wonder will it ever? 

Go tell the drummer man 

The time glass is out of sand 

Ask him to understand 

And wait for me and wait for me 

Silver birds fly away like words 

In the wind and soon I'll be in another world 

The land of without him 

What's it about this other world?

And wait for me and wait for me
