That make up a dull day
Fritter and waist the hours
In an off-hand way
Kicking around on piece of ground
In your home town
Waiting for someone or something
To show you the way
Tired of living in the sun
Staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long
And there is time to kill
No one told you where to run
You miss the starting gun
And 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
Shorter of Breath
One day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Pans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
The time is gone
The song is over
Thought I'd had more to say
Ticking away the moments That make up a dull day Fritter and waist the hours In an off-hand way Kicking around on piece of ground In your home town Waiting for someone or something To show you the way Tired of living in the sun Staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long And there is time to kill No one told you where to run You miss the starting gun And 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 Shorter of Breath One day closer to death Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time Pans that either come to naught Or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation Is the English way The time is gone The song is over Thought I'd had more to say Explain Request ×
