Time |
The voice had been there all along |
Hidden in the stones in the rivers |
Hidden in all the books |
Hidden in plain sight |
It was the voice of reason |
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day |
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way |
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown |
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way |
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain |
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today |
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you |
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun |
You run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking |
And racing around to come up behind you again |
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older |
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death |
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time |
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines |
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way |
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I’d something more to say |
Home, home again |
I like to be here when I can |
And when I come home cold and tired |
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire |
And far away, across the fields |
The tolling of the iron bell |
Calls the faithful to their knees |
To hear the softly spoken magic spells |
