[Verse 1]
I meant to ask you how to fix that car
I always meant to ask you about the war
And what you saw across a bridge too far
Did it leave a scar?
Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel
Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
How did it feel?
[Chorus]
Bang the drum slowly, play the pipe lowly
To dust be returning, from dust we begin
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
Above and below me, a world without end
[Verse 2]
I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost
Your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
There was still that line that you would never cross
At any cost
I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
And if you ever really were deceived
By the likes of me
