    Story Behind the Song
    Okay - at the moment I'm more into "psychedelic" stuff. Inspiration for that song was an old instrument I found in the attic of my parents house. It was an 80 years old zither. I thought that it sounds like an indian instrument. Maybe because it was totally out of tune. You can hear it at the beginning and the end of the song.
    Lyrics are hard to explain. But mainly the words "drift" around the thought that the past in our life is always growing and growing and growing. So the time 'til our death (future) is getting shorter.
    "Life is so short and death is so long!"
    BTW, I needed 30 minutes to write the words!

    Lyrics
    The Turning Of The Sheets

    How can I feel love
    When time runs so fast?
    How can I keep up
    With the expansion of the past?

    How can I be glad?
    How can I be sad?

    Is it true
    I'm drifting away?
    Is it you
    Who's drifting away?

    I feel my feet tapping
    To delusive beats
    Endlessly waiting
    For the turning of the sheets.

    Is it true...
