[Intro]

[Spoken Vocal]
Time to scurry
(Into the flurry…)
There is no quitting…
(And the clock keeps ticking.)
[Refrain]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
The time is now
(And somehow…)
The day…
(Will slip away)
[Verse 1]
Morning breaks and off we go
One more thing and one more show
Messages and voices calling
Plans are rising, minutes falling
Round the corner, down the street
Trying hard to match the beat
So much moving, through the sound
Searching out what is found
[Pre-Chorus]
Hurry!
(What’s the hurry?)
Go!
(There’s no slow)
Time!
(Better get going)
Now!
(It’s flowing)
[Chorus]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
The time is now
(And somehow…)
The day…
(Will slip away)
Round and round
(The minutes fly)
Catch the moment
(Before goodbye)
[Verse 2]
Could be weather, could be life
Could be trouble, could be strife
Could be motion, could be chance
Hope it’s not our last dance
[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Fast Melodic Lead, Rhythmic Bass, Busy Drums, Synth Arpeggios]
[Bridge]
Flurry!
(Hurry!)
Time!
(Running!)
Day!
(Slipping!)
Now!
(Is how!)
Don’t wait
(Too long)
Don’t drift
(Along)
Take the moment
(While it’s here)
Make it matter
(Make it clear)
[Breakdown]
[Drums Drop Out: Acoustic Guitar, Soft Piano, Light Percussion]
The flurry settles…
The noise fades…
And suddenly…
You can hear the clock.
(Tick tock, tick tock)
[Final Refrain]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
The time is now
(And somehow…)
The day…
(Will slip away)
[Final Chorus]
Caught up in the flurry
(Guess I’d better hurry)
Don’t let the moment
(Slip away)
The time is now
(Right here, right now)
The day is moving
(Anyhow)
Round and round
(The minutes fly)
Catch the moment
(Before goodbye)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Acoustic Guitar, Shimmering Synth, Bass, Hand Percussion, Drums Gradually Fade]
Caught up…
In the flurry…
Guess I’d better hurry…
The time is now…
And somehow…
(Find away)
For the day…
(To stay)
Don’t let ‘er…
… slip away.
