I still hear the snares in the square
Colors ablaze in the evening
The air was still
Down the stormy hill
It's good to be young and daring
She was the pride of the summer that year
She was my sweetheart, my lady
We walked to Black Rock
And stopped by the Loch
It's good to be young and daring
It's good to be young
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
Across the bay I still hear the strains
The two-step loud and blaring
We walked hand and hand
To the beat of the band
It's good to be young and daring
It's good to be young
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
I still hear the snares in the square
Colors ablaze in the evening
She was the pride of the summer that year
It's good to be young and daring
It's good to be young and daring
It's good to be young
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum, beat the drum
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
Beat the drum
