Last Drummer

In the grandest of halls where the walls sing out loud The blues, opera to rock n roll they hum the tune of the last drummer Curtain call and everyone moves to the beat of the drum The last drummer rises and bows to say goodbye

The last drummer of the night, of this life Every layer of the earth beats to the sound of the last drummer The universe closes into the beat of the drum Boom bang bang, a heart beat away for the last drummer

The beat of the drum expands all around Everyone leans into the rhythmic sound Each step forward with the beat of the last drummer The end of is near, follow the beat, it’s your last drummer

The crowd goes silent to the beat of the drum Last drummer rises and looks down at the crowd Hooray shouts out the people, the dance of the last drummer So long the others, this is their last drummer

Others danced to the beat of the drum Others sang to the beat of the drum The walls beat in and out to the sounds of the many drummers Curtain call, the last drummer in the grandest of halls

The show must go on as it always does Every beat of every show captured in these walls What great ending for the last drummer In death or in life, same difference

Beat of the last drummer, so long and goodbye
