David Gilmour
Time
[Verse 1]
Ticking away
The moments that make up the dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around
On a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lyin' 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
So you run, and you run
To catch up with the sun, but it's sinkin'
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same
In a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath, 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 has come, the song is over
Thought I'd something more to say

["Breathe" Reprise]
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 tollin' on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
