Lyrics
It’s hard to know what to say
As the world around us fades away
Reason falls on deaf ears
And the Truth dissolves and disappears
As the Clock Winds Down
Warning signs years ago
We did not want to know
All-consuming selfish ways
Now there’s a price to pay
As the Clock Winds Down
The ice caps melt The Amazon burns
To the point of no return
The grid goes down Screens go blank
We’ll be walking down the plank
As the Clock Winds Down
See the children take to the streets
When they hear Greta Thunberg speak
Watch the young warriors climb down from the trees
Chain themselves to machinery
As the Clock Winds Down
It’s hard to know what to say
When a child looks up and says
Hey old man, what did you do
We were depending on you
Now the Clock Winds Down
Now the Clock Winds Down
Now the Clock Winds Down
To Zero
Ride on Christy, ride on!
Brilliant Christy. Thanks for speaking out on Climate Change. Its a very powerful message 🙏. Amazing Artwork too from David Rooney
Without music and art, I find that the unavoidable grief and anger of what we are facing into becomes inescapable. This is one for the playlist. Thank you
Powerful imagery, thoughtful and heart wrenching words make for an emotional rollercoaster. Great song Christy, well done and thank you :)
Nicely done Mr. Moore.
Some of my country's "leaders" should take a few minutes off from their scheming to listen to this song and see the video !
"We'll be walking down the plank." God bless Christy.
Great topical song and an excellent video also. Look forward to listening to the new album.
Amazing song so poignant for these times. Well done Christy and all involved. 🥰
Such a sad song in its meaning. Pretty drawings for a background, it nicely illustrates some of the things going on in this world. Nice work overall!
thank you for your latest song Christy, and thanks also to Jim Page, the song's writer for his powerful lyrics. 💚🌍💚

Beautiful. Love ya Christy.
An absolutely brilliant song, it hits quite hard emotionally, like the words almost sting but still in a beautiful way.
Spot on Christy - this to me equals Neil Young’s “Who’s Gonna Stand Up & Save the World”…..our generation’s shame should not be an excuse for inaction
Thank you so much Christy for this beautiful but heartbreaking song. Definitely gonna use it for upcoming protests
thank you for this
Christy has all of us oldies spoiled. This is an adequate song by his high standards. Nevertheless, it's still Christy, and that'll do the finest
Beautiful 🍀🙏🍀
