UB40 (D) - Don't Slow Down

You run for years
but still you fear
> the chase has just begun;
and 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. (2x)
>
> 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

Don`t slow down don`t touch the ground,
You know what you will find;
That old grey man in tattered clothes
following behind. (2x)
