Time Lyrics

[Intro] The voice had been there all along Hidden in the stones in the rivers Hidden in the books Hidden in plain sight It was the voice of reason [Verse 1] Ticking away at 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 1] Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain And you are young and life is long And there is time to kill today And then one day you find Ten years havе got behind you No one told you when to run You missеd the starting gun [Verse 2] And 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, and one day closer to death [Chorus 2] 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 English way The time is gone, the song is over Thought I'd something more to say [Part II: Breathe (In The Air) [Reprise]] [Verse] Home, home again I like to be here when I can And when I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire [Outro] Far away, across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells
