Speed Of Sound
by Mortal

Album: Wake

I've come far to be here with you
farther than I thought I could
I've more courage now than I have ever
let on to you

and it's in the way you're moving
as uneasy as your smile
I can tell you're slowly dying
can we stop and talk awhile

now as far as I can remember
you've been running all your life
and it seemed you ran forever
'cause I was always left behind

now that I have caught up to you
there are things I have to say
like I'm happy to be near you
but I cannot stay

my love's an ocean
you are the moon
the stars - our windows
the sky is our room

these are more than simple changes
they are painful and profound
and you might consider pacing life
below the speed of sound

no I can't take your wounds from you
things you've done i cannot undo
I can only hope to love you
like the ocean loves the moon

I am an ocean
you are the moon
our life - the morning
our love is doomed
