Time - Michelle Simonal

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 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

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
