Great Song: TIME
10/22/2013 11:04:55 PM
Some of the lines of this song really hit home for me, lots of time spent...hopefully not wasted, hopefully we accomplish something.

Here's Pink Floyd, the singing starts around 2:18, lyrics below:



"Time" by Pink Floyd

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand 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
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
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 spells

Hello Kathleen, WONDERFUL seeing you posting songs again and I agree, there's lots in this song that hits home to me too, for instance these lines....................

"Every year is getting shorter
Never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught
Or half a page of scribbled lines"

Not only are the years getting shorter but also each minute, each hour, each day, each week and each month just seem to fly by.

Hi Evelyn,

Thanks for posting! It's interesting to see rock stars get older and still be cool! But this was 20 yrs ago, it still seems recent, and the song was actually from around 1974. I should post here at ALP more often and post more songs & lyrics.

Great song from my favourite all time bands.

Time certainly moves on.

Great to see you.

Hi Roger,

It's great to see you also! :) Thanks for posting! I remember I was in junior-high when Pink Floyd's album "The Wall" was big, and then the movie came out about a year or two years later when I was in high school.
