Yesterdays, how quick they change

All lost and long gone now

It's hard to remember anything 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.
