1st verse:


11 11 11 11 11 11     999999
Silver                drums


11 11 11 11 11 11     999999
Rhythms that he       hums


777777       555555
waltzing     dolls that


000000    222010   333020   444030
come      when     he       calls


555555    444030
plans for one he


000000   222010   444030   000000
keeps    in       a        coffer


000000   222010   444030   555555
what     can      I        offer


333333
I don't know


000000  555555    444030  222010  444030
Can I   bring him love    words   to    


000000             555555    444030   222010
sing him like some foolish   Ma-      gi


000000   555555    444030  222010  444030
I'll be  gone and  words   in      a     


000000          555555    777777   999999
song won't even last 'til sun-     rise


Refrain:

999999      777777          999999        777777
Go tell the drummer man the time glass is out of sand


999999     777777         555555
Ask him to understand and wait for me


333333
And wait for me

2nd verse:

Streets and parks
Waltzes in the dark
Lovers now, when time will allow
An afternoon
The kind to believe in
Why am  I leavin'
I don't know
Distant places
just empty spaces
'Til we are together
What can I give
time leaves me nothing
I wonder will it ever


Repeat refrain


3rd verse:

Silver birds fly away like words
In the wind
And soon I'll be in
another world
a land of without him
What's it about
this  other world


Repeat refrain


Outtro:

555555
and wait for me


333333
and wait for me
