04 Counting Hours
from the album “ZERO”
featuring Meg Radley with Tess Savigear on vocals
tic, of the clock marches forward
wait, for the bell to chime noon
patience, I can’t tell when it’s coming
think, that it has to be soon
wasting all my time counting hours
rather be drifting out to the sea
or gathering moss in a field full of flowers
time won’t wait
so i’d better get going
sound, shuffling feet march along
weight, of the world sinking down
patience, softly singing the words of a song
all hope, lies in this truth
wasting time in a line going nowhere fast
refuse to be trapped like a rat on a sinking ship
if there comes a choice between this life or the one in my dreams
i will fly like a butterfly
across the warm summer breeze
i will run to the forest
and live there among the trees
i will never look up on the wall at the clock
and wonder what if…
God its good. It's Alex. I'm locked out of alone tone! Harmonies amazing!
Megs voice is a real find for me. Absolutely love the tone.. And this song really really suits it. Hope to hear lots more of this voice. Got bits of nico.. I think that's what I pick up. So beautiful set against teases voice. Such a beautiful song Brent. Incredible
My fave song on the album - love it. Was a pleasure to add b-vox. Meg needs to record more. Classy songwriting, Brent.
