Don't Slow Down

You run free, lady, but still feel

The chase had just begun

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 gray man in tattered clothes

Following behind

That old gray man in tattered clothes

Following behind

No time to talk, don't go to sleep

You're prepared to pay the cost

The hours and minutes hurdle 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 gray man in tattered clothes

Following behind

That old gray man in tattered clothes

Following behind

Don't slow down, don't touch the ground

You know what you will find

That old gray man in tattered clothes

Following behind

That old gray man in tattered clothes

Following behind

That old gray man in tattered clothes

Following behind
