Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ticking away
The moments that make up a dull day
You frittered and wasted hours
In an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground
In your hometown
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
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 3]
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun
But it's sinking
And 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 4]
Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or have 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
[Verse 5]
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 a fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
Written by: David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright, Roger Waters
