about

I wrote and recorded this after work on 1 Feb 2021, first song I ever wrote for February Album Writing Month (www.fawm.org) Never enough hours in a day...and day job whirled eats too many of them it feels like...

lyrics

There goes
The clock
Again
It won’t let
Me catch
My breath

Weekend over
Week begins
Its passage
Forces my
Steps

Relentless
Deathless Pace
It rules
My waking
Hours

Caught in
Its web
It never
Rests
It’s here
It’s now

Can’t run
Can’t hide
Can’t get Away
Not enough
Hours in a day
I can’t break free
Out of my mind
Ensnared in the
Tentacles of time

Hours turn
To minutes
And yet
The minutes
Feel like
Days

Days are
A blur
I plod on
Through the
Work day haze

Tempus won’t
Stop fugiting
Except when
I’m on
The clock

The hands
Keep chasing
Me back
Into the
Temporal stocks


Can’t run
Can’t hide
Can’t get away
Not enough
Hours in a day
I can’t break free
Out of my mind
Ensnared in the
Tentacles of time
