The Drummer Songtext
von Niki and the Dove

Sometimes I wonder what made me leave it
The water in the deep sea, the crystal chain
Sometimes I look to the West
And I wonder what made me leave it
And the dream I had of something to grow old to
Now I lost it

Oh I love the rhythm, the pounding of my heart
I'm a drum, I'm a drum now
It is what makes me human
Oh a beat to the bone, oh I am a drum
It's the heart, it's the heart
It is what makes me human

Sometimes I look to the East
And I wonder when will she reach me
The very core of me,
I will have to cross that river


Oh I love the rhythm, the pounding of my heart
I'm a drum, I'm a drum now
It is what makes me human
Oh a beat to the bone, oh I am a drum
It's the heart, it's the heart
It is what makes me human

For every footstep, it's getting harder to turn back
And did I ever know where I came from?
And do I know where I'm heading at?
For every footstep, it's getting harder to look back oh
And did I ever know where I came from?
And do I want what I'm heading for?
Oh ask yourself, do you?

Oh I love the rhythm, the pounding of my heart
I'm a drum, I'm a drum now
It is what makes me human
Oh a beat to the bone, oh I am a drum
It's the heart, it's the heart
It is what makes me human

Oh I won't let you go except you bless me
Oh oh, I have to cross that river
I won't let you go except you bless me
Oh oh, I have to cross that river
