Speeding Time - Carole King

Decades pass in just one year

And your illusions disappear

And you fear the speeding time

You find a dream that you embrace

Look the other way and it’s a race

Trying to keep pace with the speeding time

Don’t see no more dancin' on the street

And its 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 prophets 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
