Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand 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
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 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
And 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 spell
We miss you Tracie but your Spirit will always shine brightly on the Watch Image

That right there is a very good reason to strongly appreciate Roger Waters! Some of the greatest lyrics I have ever encountered.

Bruce has some of my favorites.

From Mary Queen of Arkansas
Mary queen of Arkansas
Your white skin is deceivin'
You wake and wait to lie in bait
And you almost got me believin'
But on your bed, Mary
I can see the shadow of a noose
I don't understand how you can hold me so tight
And love me so damn loose


From Backstreets
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down
You can blame it all on me Terry, it don't matter to me now
When the breakdown hit at midnight there was nothing left to say
But I hated him and I hated you when you went away
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
-Paul Simon
