Track 15 of a 21 song album written and recorded in 21 days during lockdown in South Africa because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

lyrics

Yesterday seems far away but in fact it was only yesterday
A lot of things can happen in a small amount of time
The years are really shooting by
The longer I spend in this life
The months turn into hours and the minutes all decide

To disappear on me
I’m not that old yet but it always seems I’m running out of time
It honestly puts a fear in me
The clock is ticking and there’s so much to discover in this life
The minutes disappear
And it always seems I’m running out of time
The end is drawing near
And there’s still so much for me to do in life

My memory’s not as functional as it once was a year ago
I often need reminding of the awesome times we’ve had
I often try the best I can to gain access to my memory bank
But I keep changing the password and the answers to my questions

Disappear on me
I’m not that old yet but it always seems I’m running out of time
It honestly puts a fear in me
The clock is ticking and there’s so much to discover in this life
The minutes disappear
And it always seems I’m running out of time
The end is drawing near
And there’s still so much for me to do in life

So let’s regale our childhood stories
Yours are epic, mine are boring
You remember colour while I think in black and white
The lack of storage freaks me out
In one ear, the other out
Hopefully at deaths door I’ll remember all the things

That disappeared on me
I’m not that old yet but it always seems I’m running out of time
It honestly puts a fear in me
The clock is ticking and there’s so much to discover in this life
The minutes disappear
And it always seems I’m running out of time
The end is drawing near
And there’s still so much for me to do in life
