[02:04.57]Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
[02:12.45]You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
[02:19.84]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
[02:27.13]Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
[02:34.42]Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
[02:42.04]You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
[02:50.75]And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
[02:57.87]No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
[04:30.06]And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
[04:37.87]Racing around to come up behind you again
[04:44.85]The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
[04:51.98]Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
[04:59.02]Every day is getting shorter never seem to find the time
[05:06.39]Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
[05:13.68]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
[05:21.27]The time is gone the song is over
[05:25.17]
[05:45.82]Home, home again
[05:53.45]I like to be here when I can
[06:00.62]And when I come home cold and tired
[06:07.46]Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
[06:15.07]Far away across the field
[06:18.91]The tolling of the iron bell
[06:22.60]Calls the faithful to their knees
[06:26.40]To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
