Story behind the song
A song that was inspired by people battling the debillitating disease of Altzheimers.People that were once so proud and dignified seem to have that taken away.The song isn't there to offer any answers just reporting some facts as I see them.
Lyrics
Turn Back The Clock
Such a cruel disease
Strips your dignity away
Your very essence disappears
Like clouds on a hazy summers day
Leaving you frustrated
You know your memory's getting worse
Then family try to figure out
Is that a blessing or a curse.
And you never thought it would be this way
Could not forsee this living hell
You never thought it could be this way
Your body's now a shell
All the times of yesteryear
That once were locked away
Emerge so clear as crystal now
They could have happened yesterday
You're getting cross with loved ones
But they do nothing wrong
With misdirected humour
You try hard to change the song
And you never thought it would be this way
Could not forsee this living hell
You never thought it could be this way
Your body's now a shell
Days bleed into one another
All the seconds minutes years
How I wish I could turn the clock back
Have the laughter not the tears
Anecdotes repeated yeah
The story sounds the same
Forgetting where you are sometimes
And at other times your name
And you never thought it would be this way
Could not forsee this living hell
You never thought it could be this way
Your body's now a shell
Such a cruel disease strips your dignity away.
