UB40 Don't Slow Down song 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.
