I hear them race
Far away in the misty space
Smiling I gaze
At the moon's grace
While they fear
A fearful chase

Steam from the train fills the air
So I light my cigarette with care
Through the mist
I dare
Still hearing the rush unaware

I hear the rush relentless and fast,
Oh Lord, how long will it last?
To slow it down, what's the task?
In this frenzy, how long will I be cast?

Once just an echo
Faint and light
I shrugged it off with a smile so bright
Now each moment
A goodbye flight
Under the sun I hold tight

I hear the rush, relentless and near
The mist creeping without fear
Those I held close, now disappear
Into memories, they veer

I hear the rush it won't subside
No matter how hard I've tried
Oh Lord, in You, I confide
To slow this pace let me abide
I hear the rush, it's all around
Incessant without a sound
I hear the rush, my heart's bound
To this race, forever wound

I hear the rush it won't subside
No matter how hard I've tried
Oh Lord, in You, I confide
To slow this pace, let me abide

God, please slow the mist's sway
Let me embrace, before it's just clay
Before memories fade away
Grant me strength, I pray

I hear the rush, it's all around
Incessant without a sound
I hear the rush, my heart's bound
To this race, forever wound

God, please slow the mist's sway
Let me embrace, before it's just clay
Before memories fade away
Grant me strength, I pray

To silence what I hear in the race
I'll confront it with Your grace
If I can't halt, or retrace
I'll strive to stop this pace

Yet still I hear the endless beat
It echoes on, without defeat
Still I hear the racing fleet
In this fog, where memories meet

Long have I fought without regret
Now, in the mist, I'm set
Smiling at the moon no more fret
The rush fades out without a bet

Long have I fought without regret
Now in the mist I'm set
Smiling at the moon no more fret
The rush fades out without a bet

Long have I fought without regret
Now in the mist I'm set
Smiling at the moon no more fret
The rush fades out without a bet
