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
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And 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...


Home, home again
I like to be there when I can!
When I come in cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Far away across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Dedicated to all who work for the man...or at home watching the telly idling about, those at the mall just shopping, those watching sports in their couch, those waiting to see where they could start a fight, those reading magazines, those talking on their cell phones all day, all night...

Those are some of the most true to life lyrics ever. "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 the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death".


These lines are my favorite. You just never know how much time you really have so you should use it wisely.

Yeah, I'm going through a major Pink Floyd re-discovery/appreciation period now which came about when I read the lyrics to thier songs, especially this one and Us & Them, which is an anti-war song. Deep Rock n Roll!


oooo
Oh man! Spelling errors!
