I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stood here dithering around
Well I know I said I'd wait around till you need me
But I have to go, I hate to let you down

But I can't stop now
I've got trouble of my own
Cos I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk


I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stood here withering away
Well I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say

That I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
Cos I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk
To no one back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down for no one in town
No I can't stop now

And I can't slow down for no one in town
And I can't stop now for no one


The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
