Speed Of Light — текст песни (Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark)

The speed of light slows down
As the feather hits the ground
And nothing else gets through
It`s always faster than it sounds.
The star that shone so bright
Will be eclipsed tonight
When you kiss the satelite.
`Cause there was someplace you
And you alone, believed that a life
Could be this way
It don`t seem right
To spend tonight as you did today.
[chorus]:
If I had known that you would call
If I could dream that you would fall
If I could change these thoughts around
I would have stayed at home tonight.
There`s nothing that you can do
To make this all brand-new
Nothing here to save
To make it go away.
You`ve never been so wrong.
So how can you ignore
When a fall from grace so high
Should never take so long
And say goodbye,
As you did today.

So the speed of light remains
Ever-constantly the same
Begin tonight as it did today.
