Sean Flynn Lyrics
[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
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
