1
I meant to ask you how to fix that car
2
I always meant to ask you about the war
3
And what you saw across a bridge too far
4
Did it leave a scar
5
Or how you navigated wings of fire and steel
6
Up where heaven had no more secrets to conceal
7
And still you found the ground beneath your wheels
8
How did it feel
9
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
10
To dust be returning from dust we begin
11
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
12
Above and below me world without end
13
I meant to ask you how when everything seemed lost
14
And your fate was in a game of dice they tossed
15
There was still that line that you would never cross
16
At any cost
17
I meant to ask you how you lived what you believed
18
With nothing but your heart up your sleeve
19
And if you ever really were deceived
20
By the likes of me
21
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
22
To dust be returning from dust we begin
23
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
24
Above and below me world without end
25
Gone now is the day and gone the sun
26
There is peace tonight all over Arlington
27
But the songs of my life will still be sung
28
By the light of the moon you hung
29
I meant to ask you how to plow that field
30
I meant to bring you water from the well
31
And be the one beside you when you fell
32
Could you tell
33
Bang the drum slowly play the pipe lowly
34
To dust be returning from dust we begin
35
Bang the drum slowly I'll speak of things holy
36
Above and below me world without end
