[Verse 1]

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

That old grey man in tattered clothes

Following behind

[Verse 2]

No time to stop, don't go to sleep

Prepare to pay the cost

The hours and minutes hurtle by

Another day is lost

Impatience is a virtue

Catch me if you can

The seconds have been ticking by

Since your life began

[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

That old grey man in tattered clothes

Following behind

[Instrumental break]

[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

That old grey man in tattered clothes

Following behind

That old grey man in tattered clothes

Following behind
