[Verse 1]
You might believe, and still you feel
The chase has just begun;
That you must reach that horizon before
The setting of the sun
You chase the light in front of you
Nightfall close behind;
If you stop to catch your breath
You know what you will find

[Chorus]
Don't slow down don't touch the ground
You know what you will find;
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind

[Verse 2]
No time to stop, don't go to sleep
Prepare to pay the cost
The hours and minutes hurtle by
Another day is lost
Impatience is a virtue
Catch me if you can
The seconds have been ticking by
Since your life began
[Chorus]
Don't slow down don't touch the ground
You know what you will find;
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Don't slow down don't touch the ground
You know what you will find;
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind
