[02:13.549]Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
[02:20.684]You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
[02:28.164]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
[02:35.334]Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
[02:39.823]
[02:42.584]Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
[02:50.885]You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
[02:59.167]And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
[03:05.314]No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
[03:17.349]
[04:36.804]So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
[04:48.168]Racing around to come up behind you again.
[04:54.686]The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
[05:01.195]Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
[05:06.604]
[05:08.604]Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
[05:16.168]Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
[05:23.195]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
[05:30.505]The time is gone, the song is over,
[05:34.154]Thought I'd something more to say.
[06:03.887]I like to be here, but I can't.
[06:10.864]And when I come home cold and tired
[06:18.250]It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
[06:25.734]
