Speeding Time Lyrics - 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 

Photos 

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
