Speed of Trees
Ellis Paul
Sometimes
In my bed at night
I'm dreaming that I'm flying
At the speed of light
In two seconds
I'm brushing past
The face of the moon
8 seconds flat on
The surface of Mars
I'm kicking up
The red dust
Drinkin' in bars
I lean back and raise a
Toast to the stars tonight
Dreamin' at the speed of light
Somedays,
I'd just settle for
The speed of sound
I'd step off this porch
And blow a kiss to this goddamn town
I'd let off
One of them sonic booms
And break all the windows
In the living rooms
And blow off the hats
Of the boys
At the old fairgrounds
Laughin' at the speed of sound
And You say,
"Go."
Why don't you go then?
If you want to go
Why don't you decide?
Pick a road,
Decide
Is it a train
Or a plane
Or a bride
Decide
Decide
Decide
Your love makes me move at the
Speed of trees
I've laid down some roots
Grown a head full
Of make-believes
But up above me
Where the angels soar
They're rattlin' windows
Blowin' down doors
They look at me here
I'm planted square down
On my knees
On my knees
On my knees
I'm asking for the speed of trees
The speed
of
trees
