It is certainly an intriguing perspective, but it does raise the question of whether we are perhaps viewing a lost civilisation from the vantage point of an existing one.

It suggests that what we perceive as certain and solid today is, to some extent, shaped by our subjective assumptions. Everything is in a state of flux, and nothing is permanent.

TIME IS FLYING Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1968, 2021

Time is flying You'll be sighing When you think of the times When you were mine And we were fine Now you're alone (SPOKEN: Come on home)

Time is flying You'll be crying When you think you will be The one for me But, you will see That I won't care (SPOKEN: If you're standing there)

Time is flying You'll be dying When I think of you And you'll be blue Like he will, too When you're alone (SPOKEN: Now you're gone)

Time is flying You'll be lying When I come home today When I come to stay To love this way Cause I'm alone (SPOKEN: Come home)

Time is flying You'll be trying But, my love you can't buy And you'll ask why All I do is cry And I will say (SPOKEN: Go away, go away)
