|
Look at him running, there's so far to go |
|
He's very short of breath |
|
And he'd said don't be late |
|
Just don't be late |
|
With his parcel tucked tight under his arm |
|
He's sure he's passed half way |
|
And he'd said don't be late |
|
Just don't be late |
|
Did you do everything you're told |
|
The instruction you had was old |
|
I wasn't sure if I'd hear you |
|
I'm glad you're still alright |
|
It's all been arranged for ten |
|
The streets should be clear by then |
|
I've done all that you told me |
|
I'm sure that they will wait |
|
Their timing was made quite clear |
|
If we're late they will not appear |
|
They don't know, they don't know |
|
They don't know how far we've had to go |
|
Can you pick up this slowing pace |
|
You're running a losing race |
|
No, soon we'll see them, then you'll know |
|
That I have not delayed, he said |
|
Hurry and don't be late |
|
You'd better hurry, you might be late |
|
Just hurry and don't be late |
|
You'd better hurry, you may be late |
|
If we're late, I will not survive |
|
They will keep me alive |
|
It's not too far now |
|
And I can only wish you luck, friend |
|
I'm sorry I go alone |
|
This metal is a cold home |
|
I can see them waiting |
|
A few more steps and you'll be there, he said |
|
Hurry and don't be late |
|
You'd better hurry, you might be late |
|
Just hurry and don't be late |
|
You'd better hurry, you may be late |
|
Just hurry and don't be late |
|
You'd better hurry you may be late |
