Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark Lyrics

"Speed Of Light" lyrics



The speed of light slows down
As the feather hits the ground
And if nothing else gets proved
It's always faster than it sounds

A star that shines so bright
Would be eclipsed tonight
When you kiss the satellite
Because there was always you

And you alone believed
That light could bend this way
It don't seem right
To spend tonight
As I did today

If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight

There's nothing you can do
To make this all brand new
And nothing you can say
To make it go away

You've never been so wrong
So how can you act strong
When a fall from grace so hard
Should never take so long

And sat goodbye as you did today

If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight

So the speed of light remains
Ever constantly the same
Again tonight as it today

If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight

If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these wrongs to right
I would have stayed at home tonight
