Speed Of Life Lyrics - Jude Cole

Like ghosts on open windows 

The curtains rise and fall 

The past is a foreign country 

At the dark end of the hall 

And the morning is an offering 

To the shelter of the day 

But the violent come 

And they bury it away 

Time goes by at the speed of life 

Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night 

Faster than the skin breaks on the edge of a knife 

And we just go on at the speed of life 

Like questions begging answers 

The stars appear at night 

What's it mean to love somebody 

What's it mean to be alive

I heard a little girl laughing 

At her first sight of snow 

Saw an old man dying 

In a room, he didn't know 

While the world turns through the ages 

It's a most peculiar ride 

Holding on to one another 

Moving at the speed of life 

We just go on at the speed of life 

A family on the midway in the carnival lights 

Moving in a circle through the sounds and the sights 

And it all goes by at the speed of life 

Time goes by at the speed of life 

Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night 

Faster than the skin breaks, baby 

On the edge of a knife
