Heartbeat Like a Drum

intro

Timpani beats

rhythmic thunder,

Whispers

mark time within,

------

orchestra has left the stage

yet I'm still here

alone again,

my heart beat like a drum

a pulsing encore

Love, like cymbals

crash and ting.

High hat waiting

needs to sing.

Snare drum speaks

takes the heat

chorus

tempo rises.

in my head

my heart beat like a drum

beat

like a drum

like a drum

like a drum

vocal scat

verse

Foot pedal pounding

base drum resounding

it rumbles deep

Rim shot cracks

a broken vow

----

concerto of blues

tears fall on

My own drum solo,

--------

outro

I play the part

can you hear my heart?

my heart beat like a drum
