Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day


You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way


Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town


Waiting for someone or something to show you the way






Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain


You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today


And then one day you find that ten years have got behind you


No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun







*************************




And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking


And racing around to come up behind you again


The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older


Shorter of breath and one day closer to death






Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time


Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines


Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way


The time is gone the song is over, thought i'd something more to say
