UB40 - Don't Slow Down Lyrics

You might believe
And 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

No time to stop, don't go to sleep
Prepare to pay the cost
The hours and minutes are passing by
Another day is lost

Impatience is a virtue
Catch me if you can
The seconds have been ticking by
Since your life began
