about

Poetry or a meandering discourse on the nature of time

lyrics

I've got nothing to say 'til we get there
so don't slow down
I've got nothing to say 'til we get there
so let's not turn around
The wild roses wrap round the tree trunk
and the grapes wither on the vine
Oh young men you'll all grow old soon
we'll all turn to dust in time

Oh the people will be gone in a moment
and their bones will burn with lime
so go and live for the moment
because you cannot battle time

The time it takes is its own now
for you cannot hurry time
That moment you brought has gone now
because you cannot borrow time

But the snow will fall from the mountains
and the rivers all end up at the sea
New buds will blossom and die again
and in death you'll sleep with me

Oh the feeling will be gone in a moment
and the weather will turn out fine
so go and live for the moment
'cos you cannot battle time

2009 album 'Harry Smith was my Father' is described as "immaculate, the acme of intimacy in music" (Common Folk Meadow). A second album 'Passengers Greatest Hits' followed in 2014.

HTC now records and releases music as 'The Family Grave'.
