Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

And then one day you find

Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run

You missed the starting gun

[Verse 4]

And you run and you run

To catch up with the sun, but it's sinkin'

Racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

[Verse 5]

Every year is getting shorter

Never seem to find the time

Plans that either come to naught

Or half a page of scribbled lines

[Verse 6]

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

The time is gone, the song is over

Thought I'd something more to say

Written by: David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Roger Waters
