Don't beat the drum that frightens the children.
Sing me a song of a lover returning,
CHORUS: Ah, ah, the heart’s a wonder,
Sometimes the truth lies hid in a cornfield.
Who would have thought I could feel so contented
Somehow the cycle of engines keeps turning
Time is your friend. It cures all of your sorrows. Click to play |

The song title refers to Sands' now ten-year-old annual event of bringing together fighting religious factions through their musicians and their music. :-) |

A tune, anyone? If worse comes to worse, I can post a guess, but it sure would be nice to have something a bit better than my memory to work from. The chorus is 5,7,2up,1,1,6,5 5,7,2up,7,1,1,6,5 low1,3,5,1,6,1,6,5 |

And there's an interesting Mondegreen in the last verse: "Somehow the cycle of engines keeps turning To each of our sorrows and songs we start learning." I'm pretty sure that should be "cycle of vengance". Blessings, Barbara Click to play |

I'm gonna dink with the tune a bit more and run it past Laura and then ship it to you again. Blessings, Barbara |

25 Jul 04 - 06:53 PM (#1233600) Subject: Lyr Add: MUSIC OF HEALING (Tommy Sands) From: Barbara Here is the way I have heard it sung by Laura Martin. She also tells a story about Tommy singing the first two verses of this song, with great trepidation, for Pete Seeger at the breakfast table. "Well?" says Pete when he's done. "Uhm, well what?" says Tommy. "Well, where are the rest of the verses?" says Pete. "A song that good needs more than two verses." MUSIC OF HEALING (Tommy Sands) Don't beat the drum that frightens the children. Don't sing the songs about winning and losing. Sit down beside me, the green fields are bleeding, Sing me the music of healing. Sing me a song of a lover returning, The darker the night, the brighter the morning, Bring me the news of a new day that's dawning. Sing me the music of healing. CHORUS: Oh, oh, the heart's a wonder, Stronger than the guns of thunder. Even when we're torn asunder, Love will come again. Sometimes the truth's like a hare in a cornfield. You know that it's there, but you can't put your arms Round it. All you can hope for is to follow its footprints. Sing me the music of healing. Who would have thought I could feel so contented To learn I was wrong after all of my rambles? I've learned to be hard. I've learned to be humble. Sing me the music of healing. CHORUS Somehow the cycle of vengeance keeps turning Till each other's sorrows and songs we start learning. Peace is the prize for those who are daring. Sing me the music of healing. Time is your friend. it cures all your sorrows. But how can I wait for another tomorrow? One step today, and a thousand will follow. Sing me the music of healing. CHORUS TWICE |

Don't sing the songs about winning and losing. Come sit down beside me, the green fields are bleeding Sing me the music of healing. Sing me a song of a lover returning, The darker the night, the nearer the morning. Bring me the news of a new day that's dawning. Sing me the music of healing. CHORUS: Ah, ah, the heart's a wonder, Stronger than the guns of thunder, Even when we're torn asunder. Love will come again. Sometimes the truth's like a hare in the cornfield. You know that it's there but you can't put your arms round it. All you can hope for is follow its footprints. Sing me the music of healing. And who would have thought I could feel so contented To learn I was wrong after all of my rambles? I've learnt to be hard and I've learned how to tremble Sing me the music of healing.

Time is your friend. It can heal all of your sorrows. But how can I wait for another tomorrow? One step today, and a thousand will follow. Sing me the music of healing. CHORUS Blessings, Barbara |
