Caitlin Reilly - Slow Song For A Fast World Lyrics

They’ve come to take you away
Take you back to the time
Where it all began
You keep holding on
To all your dreams and all the things
These days are long since you’ve been gone
You keep holding on
Pretending nothing’s wrong,
Looking all around for somewhere to go
You don’t know
If you’ve been here before
Feels like you have
You wait for the storm
Now you’re so close
You just let it go by
Watch them dance
To a slow song for a fast world

What happened to long walks,
late nights at the park,
magical skylark
when I turned my head in anticipation
of feeling your hands in the dark
writing letters, that long lost pastime
when you could've been mine
I could've been yours
and the two of us would
spend hours on end outdoors
rapid changes in the way we live
a little too much take and not enough give
machines doing all the dirty work
while we sit back and grin
we need to break down, turn around
or be the next in line to drown
'cause we're all the same in this here game
we have created up til now so...
bring back the way it used to be
