about

Finally, as I had decided to call this album Losing Track Of Time, to reflect how long I had dithered over making it, I thought I’d better come up with a title track. It’s about however fast time is going by (and boy is it accelerating!), it’s never too late to try something new - witness this album.

I hope you enjoy listening to it.

lyrics

LOSING TRACK OF TIME

When you take one step forward
Then slide two steps back
Or outstay your welcome
‘Cos your nerve starts to crack
And when your plans come to nothing
And your life’s on the rack
Then you’re losing track of time

Losing track of time
Losing track of time

When you’ve spent 40 long years
In a dead-end job
Tried to escape
But end up losing the plot
When what you really wanted
Is not what you got
Then you’re losing track of time

Losing track of time
Losing track of time
Time’s running out in an accelerating way
But you’ll never be younger than you are today
So get up off the fence and finally seize the day
Don’t go losing track of time

Your track of time
Don’t go losing track of time

You promised yourself this
And you could have had that
But if you haven’t come close
Then that’s a really sad fact
You’ve counted up the hours
But the hours hit back
So you’re losing track of time

Losing track of time
Losing track of time

Time’s running out in an accelerating way
But you’ll never be younger than you are today
So get up off the fence and finally seize the day
Don’t go losing track of time

Your track of time
Don’t go losing track of time
Losing track of time
Losing track of time
Your track of time
Don’t go losing track of time

Hi - Thank you for visiting my site.

A retired journalist from Sherborne in Dorset, the lockdown gave me the time to finally record some of the songs I wrote decades ago - together with a few new ones.

"It's Later Than You Think" - released on 22nd September 2023 - is my second album, following on from 2021's "Losing Track Of Time"

Give me a listen and feel free to message me your comments. ... more
