| [01:52.86] |
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day |
| [02:02.94] |
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way |
| [02:10.29] |
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town |
| [02:17.43] |
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way |
| [02:24.65] |
Tired of lying in the sunshine |
| [02:28.03] |
Staying home to watch the rain |
| [02:31.82] |
And you are young and life is long |
| [02:35.75] |
And there is time to kill today |
| [02:39.36] |
And then one day you find |
| [02:43.26] |
Ten years have got behind you |
| [02:47.16] |
No one told you when to run |
| [02:50.41] |
You missed the starting gun |
| [04:17.37] |
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking |
| [04:26.76] |
And racing around to come up behind you again |
| [04:33.86] |
And the sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older |
| [04:40.79] |
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death |
| [04:47.94] |
Every year is getting shorter |
| [04:51.83] |
Never seem to find the time |
| [04:55.48] |
Plans that either come to nought |
| [04:59.07] |
Or half a page of scribbled lines |
| [05:02.70] |
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way |
| [05:09.84] |
The time is gone |
| [05:11.59] |
The song is over |
| [05:13.44] |
Thought I'd something more to say |
| [05:32.90] |
Home, home again |
| [05:38.00] |
I like to be here when I can |
| [05:47.07] |
And when I come home cold and tired |
| [05:54.06] |
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire |
| [06:01.79] |
Far away, across the field |
| [06:05.26] |
The tolling of the iron bell |
| [06:09.12] |
Calls the faithful to their knees |
| [06:12.66] |
To hear the softly spoken magic spell |
