[02:05.60]Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
[02:12.96]You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
[02:20.41]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
[02:27.64]Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
[02:35.01]Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
[02:42.48]You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
[02:50.82]And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
[02:57.93]No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
[04:30.99]And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
[04:38.45]And racing around to come up behind you again
[04:45.50]The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
[04:52.61]Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
[04:59.67]Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
[05:07.19]Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
[05:14.44]Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
[05:21.89]The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
[05:46.75]Home, home again
[05:53.70]I like to be here when I can
[06:01.23]And when I come home cold and tired
[06:08.08]It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
[06:15.72]Far away across the field
[06:19.45]The tolling of the iron bell
[06:23.76]Calls the faithful to their knees
[06:27.52]To hear the softly spoken magic spells
