about

I met Carol at the New Troubadours in Manchester back in 1991. She gave me these poems, which I set to music and sang at the New Troubadours.

lyrics

The clocks move tonight.
Nothing moves but the clocks.
The Universe stays the same.
Then why does darkness drag in early?
Why the days go damp and dreary?

Like an unkind remark turning beauty to hurt,
the wind ransacks the pink blossom.

A new tree starting out managed the first inch up and the first inch down;
it was not to be the minority who make maturity.

A leaf clings with all it has to the tree:
Falling is painless.
