Time (Reggae Version)

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You're free to waste the hours in an offhand way

Kicking around on a piece of the ground in your hometown

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Died out lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain

And 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

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

way but you're older. Shorter a breath and one day closer to death. Every year is

getting shorter, never seem to find the time. Plans that either come to none or

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
