Don't Slow Down

You run for years but still you feel the chase has just begun That you must reach that horizon before the setting of the sun You chase the light in front of you, nightfall close behind If you stop to catch your breath, you know what you will find Don't slow down, don't touch the ground, you know what you will find That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind No time to stop, don't go to sleep, prepare to pay the cost The hours and minutes hurdled by, another day is lost Impatience is a virtue, catch me if you can The seconds have been ticking by since your life began Don't slow down, don't touch the ground, you know what you will find That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind Don't slow down, don't touch the ground, you know what you will find That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind
