Blue-Eyed Boy Beat The Drum

by Forwardman

supported by

Brian K (The Brian Jin) This song harkens back to the days of smooth AM gold. I hear flavors of Al Stewart and Gerry Rafferty, yet decidedly modern and very European. Great song! Favorite track: Blue-Eyed Boy Beat The Drum.

lyrics

Blue-eyed Boy Beat The Drum

He came to me one time in the shade of the afternoon
A funny man in white silk suit he said "I can bend the spoon"
"Here´s a coin" he said with a smile and made it disappear
He said "I come from not that far, for a reason I appear"

"You´re all tricked by the sun, it´s an illusion that you feel love
You´ll go capture this one, while the moment is still young,
oh and blue-eyed boy... you´ll beat my drum"

"Thanks for nothing and thanks for all" he said and walked away
I went off to a north shore bar thinking about the offer he made
Soon came midnight I gazed at the moon and made up my mind
to turn the whole thing upside down I thought this will suit me fine

You´re all blessed by the sun, when you are feeling love
I´ll go capture this one, while the moment is still young,
and mr. white silk suit I´ll beat my drum
