Ticking away the moments
That make up a dull day
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; 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 THE ONE DAY YOU FIND TEN YEARS
HAVE GOT BEHIND YOU
NO ONE TOLD YOU WHEN TO RUN
YOU MISSED THE STARTING GUN; 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
