Wonderful lyrical commentary David. Beautiful guitar too. The metaphorical 'needle' and the damage done.

Listening again. Truly beautiful song. Great lyrics. Pondering the meaning of them.

this is a beautiful song David, i love your words, this way so natural and personal that you have to interpret it. Your style. Still a lot to discover, i take my time :)

Beautifully written & performed David! Wonderful voice and acoustic sound:)

A Short Folk Essay 
Lyrics below...Please feel free to sing along...
Lyrics:
We all agreed with that British lad
Back when we were young
We all believed that time was on our side
He changed his mind years later
Told us “Time waits for no one”
Chorus:
But the damage had been done
It was written in the sand
It was written in the sand
All that time went by
It slipped right through our hands

We took it to the streets
To the Universities
Academics taught the stories 
of Peace and War and the struggle to be free
We were young … we had the time
We made our voices heard
Ivory Tower politicians never seemed to hear a word
(Chorus)
All my life, I’ve never changed my mind
About living free in a world without the wars
Given enough time we may yet see it come
We’d all come together
If we would only read the words
(Chorus)
