Floyd for all

Since I have started this whole blog thing I have noticed one thing that most all blogs have in common: song lyrics. Almost every single blog has in some way or another put up lyrics to a song. I've been pondering for the past few days if I were to put up a song what would it be? Usually this would represent an emotion or feeling, but as of late I haven't had a reason to put up a song. So I dug deep and found something that fits my mood:

Time:
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 a 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

-Pink Floyd

Why does this fit my mood you ask? School is 1 week from being over. Now I know people are talking about this ALL the time, but it just makes you think. The days when I thought I would never get old have long since passed, and now its time to move on to the days where I will never be young.
