PINK FLOYD - Time lyrics

rate me

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day<br>You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way<br>Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town<br>Waiting for someone or something to show you the way<br><br>Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain<br>You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today<br>And then one day you find ten years have got behind you<br>No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun<br><br>And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking<br>And racing around to come up behind you again<br>The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older<br>Shorter of breath and one day closer to death<br><br>Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time<br>Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines<br>Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way<br>The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say<br><br>Home, home again<br>I like to be here when I can<br>And when I come home cold and tired<br>It's good to warm my bones beside the fire<br>Far away across the field<br>The tolling of the iron bell<br>Calls the faithful to their knees<br>To hear the softly spoken magic spells.
