Besides

Uploaded August 25, 2017 2:06am.

I originally planned to go in a different direction for the last part of the album “Space”.

This was about as far as I got, other than a few bits that didn’t fit the with the direction I was going for at all.

The four main sections are:

The Clock Is Still Ticking Down 0:00

Winter Has Come 1:58

Besides 4:07

No One Knows Where Our Time Comes From 7:26

LYRICS:

No one knows where our time comes from
or when it’s done
The future’s come

I know that the clock is still ticking down
and we are bound
to hear the sound

The future’s come

Now the day is spent
Hour of our discontent
Calendar is turned
Calendar is turned

Now the sun is gone
Can’t you see the night’s turned long

Winter has come
winter has come
winter has come
winter has come

We could build a den
Someplace warm until it ends

Calendar has turned
Calendar has turned

The ravens speak truth
There is no place left to roost

Winter has come
winter has come
winter has come
winter has come

We are all the actors
playing on that stage
Free will is happenstance
for they’ve got games to play

Winter has come

Should we pick a side?
Someone change my mind
please

Labeled missing link
for Western decline
please

Besides
I’m a simple man

Everyone has promised change
Spring’s always around the bend
Since we get eternal change
that’s all I’ve got to spend

Besides
(Winter has come)

I have met our maker
this is what I learned
Maybe it is better
to freeze than it’s to burn

Besides

Besides
I’m a simple man

No one knows where our time comes from
or when it’s done (Besides)
The future’s come (I’m a simple man)

I know that the clock is still ticking down
and we are bound (Besides)
to hear the sound (I’m a simple man)

Missed

Now the day is spent
Hour of our discontent
Calendar is turned
Calendar is turned

Now the sun is gone
Can’t you see the night’s turned long
Winter has come
Winter has come

Winter has come (The future’s come)

Missed

Besides
I’m a thinking man
