Story behind the song
I'd been playing around with some songs where the acoustic plays the lead and melody at the same time. The intro came from there. Lyrically, I'm a bit of a hermit obsessed with the passing of the hours.
Lyrics
Watch the TV in the evening when you're gone. When it's cold and I feel older than the day is long. They go on - on and on - and they take my time away. What becomes of you when you wake up in the world? Do they talk about me? Do they wonder why the tables turn? They go on - on and on - and they take my time away. There's a lighthouse and a fairground on the bay. Cut to my house and the lights across the way. They go on - on and on - and they take my time away.
