Story Behind The Song

One of my favorite compositional techniques is to write a phrase then repeat it, changing only the bass notes. This way, the chords and melody take on a whole new meaning. In this example, a repeating C major chord is played in the beginning section while the bass continually changes the root of the chord. When we performs live, I might change these bass notes and vocal line, but the new progression continues to work beneath the repeating keyboard pattern.

Lyrics

I can get along without you - but not very well - I can get up every morning - got no one to tell - Pick a place to go a thing to do?
Watch the hands go round the clock - Your eyes the eyes that saw our future - now see the distance growing fast

Torn and forgotten (feels like) - A snapshot from the past - Might have worn out my welcome ?Must be time to be going
Destination Nowhere

You've got to trust something  sometime - even your heart - some times its easy in the past the future gets dark

 ?a silent though a well placed loving word - is all it takes to change ones life?your eyes the eyes that saw our future now see  the distance growing past
Torn and forgotten (feels like) - A snapshot from the past - Might have worn out my welcome ?Must be time to be going
Destination Nowhere
