And yet another song about time, aging, life, and all the possibilities of the future. This song tries to put a positive spin on the theme.

The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
It was recently my 56th birthday, and I've been doing a lot of thinking about life, aging, spirituality, and the illusive nature of time. The abstract concept of time fascinates me, which is probably why I write so many songs about it.
Lyrics
You could lose your mind thinkin’ ‘bout time And the slippery years gone by Another song with meter and rhyme Give it just a little try One for luck, two for love And the race against the clock Three for fear, for all or none When the roulette wheel stops I think too much about it Need to take a mind vacation Not much I can do about it Not much to change the situation Can’t slow down desperation Can’t slow down time No amount of determination Can get you out of my mind CHORUS: Eternity’s got a hold on me Find the courage to stare it down And when she finally sets me free I’ll be ready for another round And when time reads the clock on the wall Just look the other way You might stand, you might fall Either way you’ll be okay One for life, two for sight I can see it all ahead Three for hope, all for might And the things you wish you said We are all the same Underneath our own fears As soon as we’re on the same page It’s time to dry those tears Can’t slow down as time goes by Can’t slow down this train No amount of trying Will erase all that blame CHORUS: Eternity’s sets my soul free And love will bring it back home Eternity as far as you can see Find your love or find yourself alone BRIDGE: Find your yourself. Or find yourself alone Find your love. Or find yourself alone *Guitar Solo* [Repeat Choruses]
