Speed of Sound

Yesterdays, how quick they change

All lost and long gone now

It's hard to remember anythin'

Movin' at the speed of sound

Movin' with the speed of sound

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

Waitin' 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 lookin' for some peace

Every time I get me some, it gets the best of me

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

Waitin' on a word that never comes

A whisper in the dark

Is that you or just my thoughts?

Wide awake and reachin' out

It's gone so quiet now

Could it be I'm farther out

Movin' faster than the speed of sound?
