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. 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 Tolling on the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spell |

Nyarlathotep User ID: 20053617 United States 12/22/2012 02:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This site is hosting a count-up timer: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28388164 [link to www.timeanddate.com] Not saying it will catch on, but many people would agree that there is enough universal appeal. It might be entertaining to apply some names to days moving forward (with no offense meant to NJR of course). So GLP new-day tards, what is today's name -- the first day of the new days? You do realize ANYONE can put up a website right? domain names are nearly 8 bucks a year and hosting is down to 10 bucks a month. Anyone with HTML and CSS knowledge (hell my sister of the age of 14 has that) can put up a website like this. The fact of the matter is... scientists could not prove whether it was between 21-24th. They had a margin of error just like any other calculation. |

And time has told me Not to ask for more Someday our ocean Will find it's shore. So i`ll leave the ways that are making me be What I really don't want to be Leave the ways that are making me love What I really don't want to love. Time has told me You came with the dawn A soul with no footprint A rose with no thorn. Your tears they tell me There's really no way Of ending your troubles With things you can say. And time will tell you To stay by my side To keep on trying 'til there's no more to hide. So leave the ways that are making you be What you really don't want to be Leave the ways that are making you love What you really don't want to love. Time has told me You're a rare rare find A troubled cure For a troubled mind. And time has told me Not to ask for more For some day our ocean Will find it's shore. |
