Time |
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 home town |
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 |
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking |
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 |
When I come home cold and tired |
It’s good to warm my bones beside the fire |
Far away across the field |
The tolling of the iron bell |
Calls the faithful to their knees |
To hear the softly spoken magic spells |
