Strings of Time

(ay-oh, ay-oh)

{acoustic

guitar fingerpicking pattern with talking drum taps}

Steps on the red dirt

Listening to the wood speak

Under the wide sky

(hummmm) {djembe pattern driving

the

pulse} Oh,

the hands will play

And the wires will ring

Voices rise and drift away

(ay-oh, sing it out) {electric guitar melody

enters with

talking drum sliding tones} Strings made of silver

Skin stretched on hollow oak

Two worlds colliding

{talking drum

and djembe call-and-response}

We hear the old ways

We feel the modern spark

Singing in the dark

(oooh-aaah) {electric guitar swells with filtered vocal samples}

Oh, the hands will play

And the wires will ring

Voices rise and drift away

(ay-oh,

sing it out) {high energy hand percussion and soaring guitar riffs} (ay-oh,

ay-oh) {acoustic guitar fading out with single talking

drum

strokes}
