Lyrics

Sean Flynn

[Verse 1] You know he heard the drums of war When the past was a closing door The drums beat into the jungle floor The past was always a closing door Closing door [Verse 2] Rain on the leaves and soldiers sing You never never hear anything They filled the sky with a tropical storm You know he heard the drums of war Each man knows what he's looking for
