| [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. |
