Time...

Depending what mood I'm in, I have about 5 different, favourite bands...The Pink Floyd are one of those bands....I have posted this once before as a journal and in my nearly 20 years as a Floyd fan, I never tire of this beautiful song. It remains as fresh as the first day I ever heard it and was enchanted...This song grows more and more pertinent to me as I grow older.... This is the Pink Floyd and this is Time...

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand 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

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking

And racing around to come up behind you again

The sun is the same in the 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 Id something more to say

Home, home again

I like to be here when I can

And when I come home cold and tired

Its 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.

I saw this concert many years ago in Sydney and it blew me away. Amazing.

Another one from this concert album is 'Comfortably Numb' always strikes a chord with me.

Yep. always will be a Floyd fan.
