Yesterdays, how quick they change
All lost and long gone now.
It's hard to remember anything's moving at the speed of sound,
Moving with the speed of sound.
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
In that somehow I'll survive.
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a sun that just don't come.
Can I forgive what I cannot forget
And live a lie?
I could give it one more try.
Why deny this drive inside, just looking for some peace?
Every time I get me some it gets the best of me.
I'm not much left, you see.
And yet I'm still holdin' tight to this dream of distant light
And that, somehow I'll survive.
But this night has been a long one
Waiting on a word that never comes.
A whisper in the dark.
Is that you or just my thoughts?
I'm wide awake and reaching out…
It's gone so quiet now.
Could it be I'm farther out?
Movin' faster than the speed of sound.
