Don't Slow Down

You run for years but still you feel the chase has just begun
That you must reach that horizon before the setting of the sun
You chase the light in front of you, nightfall close behind
If you stop to catch your breath, you know what you will find
Don't slow down, don't touch the ground, you know what you will find
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind

No time to stop, don't go to sleep, prepare to pay the cost
The hours and minutes hurdled by, another day is lost
Impatience is a virtue, catch me if you can
The seconds have been ticking by since your life began
Don't slow down, don't touch the ground, you know what you will find
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind

Don't slow down, don't touch the ground, you know what you will find
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind
