Time Lyrics - Dark Side Of The Mule - Gov't Mule

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 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 

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 

The tolling of the iron bell 

Calls the faithful to their knees 

To hear the softly spoken magic spell
