[02:08.57]Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
[02:15.57]You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
[02:22.71]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
[02:30.31]Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
[02:37.39]Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
[02:45.33]You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
[02:52.87]And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
[03:00.70]No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
[04:33.43]So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
[04:40.81]Racing around to come up behind you again
[04:47.64]The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
[04:54.49]Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
[05:01.92]Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
[05:09.26]Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
[05:16.75]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
[05:24.19]The time is gone the song is over
[05:27.68]
[05:49.30]Home, home again
[05:55.73]I like to be here when I can
[06:04.22]And when I come home cold and tired
[06:11.05]Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
[06:19.18]Far away across the field
[06:22.97]The tolling of the iron bell
[06:26.78]Calls the faithful to their knees
[06:30.63]To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
