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.
So, 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.
A letra da canção foi escrita por Roger Waters, que descreve o controle do tempo no nosso destino. O tempo passa rapidamente e, a partir de certa idade, não podemos fazer as coisas de um tempo que já passou. Repare-se no primeiro verso: O "tic-tac" vai marcando cada momento de um dia morto. A versão da jovem Aline Amorim é despida e, por estar sem roupa, é interessante.
