UB40 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.

(Chorus)

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.
