Time Songtext
von The Squirrels

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Spreading away the hours in an odd, bad way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
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, there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you where to run, here is the starting gun


And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it′s sinking
Racing around, you come up behind, you are dead
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day you′re 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 desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over
I thought I had something more to say

Home, home again
I'd like to be there when I can
Winter is coming, it's cold and dire
Got to warm up up beside the fire
