Speeding Time — Carole King

SPEEDING TIME by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

Decades pass in just one year And your illusions disappear And you fear the speeding time

You find a dream that you embrance Look the other way and it's a race Trying to keep pace with the speeding time

Don't seee no more dancin' on the street And it's not easy to laugh at your defeat

But hang in-hold on There will be relief Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive In this speeding time

Get your feet on solid ground It's a nightmare you have found The howling sound of speeding time Y'hear the cries behind stone walls Decipher echoes down the halls But don't you fall in the speeding time

Drifting back is no way to begin Y'gotta try to find the strength within

And hang in-hold on There will be relief Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive In this speeding time

You never listened when the prophet said "Prepare yourself for times that lie ahead" Now that you know they didn't speak a lie There's nothing for you to do except to try

And hang in-hold on Oh, hang in-hold on There will be relief Y'gotta try, gotta try to keep your love alive In this speeding time
