The Clock is Ticking By

The Clock is Ticking By

it is a race against the clock
the clock is ticking by
feels like the race is already lost
feeling so old but only so young
it only seemed like yesterday
that the fun had just begun
the clock is ticking by
desperation is settling in
you can spend all night dreaming
where do you begin
make up not so thickly applied
no one knows why
nights spent doing everything
now seemingly spent doing nothing
soon it seems so far away
it feels like another world
it is a race against the clock
the clock is ticking by
feels like the race is already lost


James Garratt – Sunday 8th February 1998
