Talking Drum

Lyrics

Sound carries further than the eye can reach A drum that bends its pitch like voice The arm squeezes and the skin responds Two players trading thoughts in tone Talking drum the voice before the voice Talking drum the voice before the voice Before the voice Before the voice Across the plain the message rides On frequencies that words can't hold A question asked in leather skin Comes back in wood and bronze and gold Before the telephone before the letter before the smoke signal There was a drum that spoke and a drum that understood Talking drum the voice before the voice Talking drum the voice before the voice Before the voice Before the voice The message lands a village over Hands translate the pitch to meaning A woman smiles and starts to cook The guest arrives before the evening No signal tower no satellite No fiber optic buried deep Just tension on a piece of skin And every word the drum can speak
