[00:00.33]
[00:01.04]Ticking away,
[00:03.46]The moments that make up a dull day
[00:06.42]You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
[00:13.89]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
[00:21.56]Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
[00:28.54]Tired of lying in the sunshine,
[00:34.33]Staying home to watch the rain
[00:37.43]You are young and life is long,
[00:41.34]And there is time to kill today
[00:44.97]And then one day you find,
[00:48.77]Ten years have got behind you
[00:52.95]No one told you when to run,
[00:56.03]You missed the starting gun
[01:05.41]
[02:25.89]And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,
[02:31.79]But it's sinking
[02:34.39]And racing around to come up behind you again
[02:42.66]The sun is the same in a relative way,
[02:46.31]But you're older
[02:49.84]Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
[02:56.08]Every year is getting shorter,
[03:01.11]Never seem to find the time
[03:04.15]Plans that either come to naught
[03:08.13]Or half a page of scribbled lines
[03:11.58]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
[03:19.56]The time is gone, the song is over,
[03:23.25]Thought I'd something more to say
[03:29.43]
