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 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
