Time

[Verse 1]
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

[Chorus]
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'll find
Ten years have gone behind
You know I told you when to run
You'll miss the starting gun

[Verse 2]
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Showеd you a breath, and one day closer to dеath

[Chorus]
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the human way
The time is gone, the sun is over
Thought I'd something more to say
