[02:21.908]Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
[02:29.198]Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
[02:36.612]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
[02:43.939]Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
[02:51.190]Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
[02:58.707]You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
[03:06.691]And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
[03:13.843]No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
[03:24.412]
[04:47.713]And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
[04:55.507]Racing around to come up behind you again
[05:02.484]The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
[05:09.577]Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
[05:16.879]Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
[05:24.137]Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
[05:31.529]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
[05:39.034]The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
[05:50.029]
[06:03.811]Home, home again
[06:11.206]I like to be here when I can
[06:19.091]And when I come home cold and tired
[06:26.261]It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
[06:34.220]Far away across the field
[06:38.103]The tolling of the iron bell
[06:42.352]Calls the faithful to their knees
[06:46.150]To hear the softly spoken magic spells
