Time > Breathe Reprise >

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 gone behind you
 No one told you when to run
 You missed the starting gun
 ♪
 So 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
 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
 Thought I'd something more to say
 ♪
 Home
 Home again
 I like to be here
 When I can
 When I come home
 Cold and tired
 It's good to warm my bones
 Beside the fire
 Far away
 Across the field
 Tolling on the iron bell
 Calls the faithful to their knees
 To hear the softly spoken magic spell
