Losing Tally was inspired by Ray Bradburys short story, The Lake, and I wrote it as the final project for a Music Performance & Technology course at the Nerve Centre in Londonderry.
Many thanks to my teacher Glenn Rosborough for doing an excellent job sharing his knowledge on the subject over the past year, and to fellow student Damian Smyth for performing main vocals on it!

Lyrics:
Running on ahead and
Feeling lonely for the first time
I dont understand
I recall when you strayed out too far
And the water stole you
It was never planned
But maybe my dreams
Create the world I see
I stand in the water and call out your name
But the wind blows it back to land
I look for your face and I leave you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
Memories slide away as I see
The scenery shift and transform
Im growing roots elsewhere
Years disappear behind me,
Ive been losing tally
Ive bid the past farewell
But life leads me back
I feel solo once more
I stood in the water and called out your name
But the wind blew it back to land
I looked for your face and I left you
An unfinished castle made in the sand
When the waves gave you back
They left you untouched by time
But they couldnt claim your soul
Youre wandering free
You stood in the water and called out my name
And it blew out across the land
You looked for my face and you left me
An unfinished castle made in the sand
