[02:08.76]Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
[02:15.77]You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
[02:23.23]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
[02:30.39]Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
[02:37.49]Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
[02:45.28]You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
[02:52.95]And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
[03:00.49]No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
[04:33.43]And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
[04:41.16]Racing around to come up behind you again.
[04:48.02]The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
[04:55.08]Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
[05:02.66]Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
[05:09.79]Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
[05:17.46]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
[05:25.02]The time is gone, the song is over,
[05:29.03]Thought I'd something more to say.
[05:49.80]Home
[05:51.83]Home again
[05:56.91]I like to be here
[06:00.00]When I can
[06:04.64]When I come home
[06:07.40]Cold and tired
[06:12.10]It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
[06:20.07]
[06:21.71]Across the field
[06:24.03]Tolling on the iron bell
[06:27.42]Calls the faithful to their knees
[06:31.53]To hear the softly spoken magic spell
