Thought

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

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 the relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

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 desparation in the English way - the time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

-Pink Floyd "Time"
